The Mason
Square section of the City of Springfield, Massachusetts is currently in the grip of a
devastating upsurge in gun related violence, as well as gang and drug activity.
The City of
Springfield has the dubious distinction of recently being ranked as the 18th
most dangerous city in the nation in 2003 (Morgan Quinto Research, 2004). This
is occurring as the City confronts budget shortfalls caused by the worst fiscal
crisis in its history which, in turn, is having a dramatic impact on both the
local law enforcement and social service resources available to tackle the
complex causes underlying the increased violence and criminal activity.
