New York State's nonfatal shooting initiative provided support to police departments and district attorney's offices in two cities, Newburgh and Utica, NY: two investigators and a crime analyst dedicated to nonfatal shooting investigations, training and technical assistance, and timely forensic laboratory analysis of evidence. Evaluation findings show that the initiative positively affected the processes and outcomes of nonfatal shooting investigations. The immediate effect of the initiative was dramatic in Newburgh and less pronounced but noteworthy in Utica. In both sites, however, clearance rates declined over time, as caseloads grew. The initiative consisted of several components: a commitment to evidence-based prosecutions; investigative personnel dedicated to nonfatal shooting cases; collaboration between investigative and prosecutorial actors. The immediate effects of the initiative suggest how successful nonfatal shooting investigations can be when they are better resourced, while the decay in the impacts over time illustrate the need to ensure that the resources are commensurate with the caseload.

超越有罪不罚：对纽约州非致命射击倡议的评估

纽约州的非致命射击计划为纽约州纽堡和尤蒂卡两个城市的警察部门和地方检察官办公室提供了支持：两名调查员和一名犯罪分析师致力于非致命射击调查、培训和技术援助，以及及时的法医实验室证据分析。评估结果表明，该倡议对非致命射击调查的过程和结果产生了积极影响。该倡议的直接影响在纽堡是戏剧性的，在尤蒂卡则不那么明显但值得注意。然而，在这两个地点，随着案件量的增加，清除率随着时间的推移而下降。该倡议由几个组成部分组成：承诺以证据为基础的起诉；专门处理非致命枪击案的调查人员；调查和起诉行为者之间的合作。该倡议的直接影响表明，当非致命枪击调查获得更好的资源时，它们会取得多么成功，而随着时间的推移影响的衰减表明需要确保资源与案件量相称。
