Crime Gun Trace Analysis Report: The Illegal Youth Firearms Market in Memphis, Tennessee, July 1996. The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative.

摘要

The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative is a 17-city demonstration project aimed at reducing youth firearms violence. Officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), police chiefs, local prosecutors, and U.S. attorneys are developing information about illegal trafficking of firearms to young people and new methods of reducing the illegal supply of firearms to them. The initiative was developed by ATF and its National Tracing Center, funded by the Department of the Treasurys Office of Enforcement and the National Institute of Justice, and announced by President Clinton on July 8, 1996. Since July 1996, participants have tested a new method of developing and providing information about the illegal sources of firearms to youth. Federal and local enforcement officials in each jurisdiction voluntarily agreed to submit information on all recovered crime guns to ATFs National Tracing Center. ATF developed the tools to analyze the information.
