Loyola University Chicago worked with the Rockford Police Department, Winnebago county criminal justice agencies, community groups and organizations as well as state criminal justice agencies to design and implement a focused deterrence project. Because an important component of the focused deterrence project in Rockford is the support, cooperation and involvement of the community, a survey on crime and responses to crime was administered to Rockford residents in the fall of 2017. Following a full year of the focused deterrence initiative being implemented, a second round of the community survey was administered in 2019, and more than 1,200 Rockford residents completed this second survey.
