Evaluation of the Madison and St. Clair Counties' Homicide and Violent Crime Strike Force
Co-Principal Investigator, Pinky S. Wassenberg and Richard J. Schmitz

Funded by Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority in 1996, the focus of this evaluation was to assess the implementation and impact of the Homicide and Violent Crime Strike Force programs operating in St. Clair and Madison County. The Strike Force is a joint effort of the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Attorney General's Office. It primarily handles homicide and violent crime cases which have previously been investigated by other law enforcement agencies.
