Clinton announced his 1997 Juvenile Crime Bill in Boston. Boston was selected because his national strategy drew on several successful Boston initiatives. In making the announcement, President Clinton said: It is really a national framework to give other communities the chance to get the resources to do what you’re trying to do in Boston. That is all it is. Tough when you should be tough; smart when you should be smart; compassionate when you should be compassionate. For Boston, its achievements and recognition came after decades of struggle with competing models of policing, spates of corruption and abuse, flawed leadership, and extraordinarily rancorous management-union relations. The Comprehensive Communities Program (CCP) played a pivotal part in Boston’s achievements, most notably by funding an unusually intensive planning process. This planning process brought together the Boston Police Department (BPD), community leaders, citizens, criminal justice agencies, and social service providers in each of Boston’s police districts over an extended period of time during which neighborhood problems were identified and tactics were developed to solve them. This planning process also laid the groundwork for an ongoing accountability process in each of the districts. To achieve these goals, long-standing suspicions, indeed even antagonisms among participants, had to be overcome and/or managed. While this did not happen overnight, and while the BPD’s and other organizations’ capacities were strained by their new experiences and responsibilities, for the most part, problems were overcome. They were overcome in large part by the self- consciousness of the BPD: that is, by its willingness to learn from its experiences and its attempt to find new ways of solving problems, be they neighborhood or program administration problems. This case study of Boston’s CCP program was written as a result of site

GEORGE H. MCCAFTREY. The history of Boston police administration goes back only to 1854, when the first body of uniform police was established. This estab- lishment was modeled on the Metropolitan Police of London and con- sisted of about two hundred and fifty men. During the years prior to 1854, police administration had been in the hands of a body known as the City Watch, which traced its beginnings back to the founding of Boston. The Watch was a semi-voluntary body, notable for its sleepiness and inefficiency in any sort of emergency. It was fortunate that a change was made in 1854, for the troubles of the Civil War period were soon at hand and the work of the police greatly augmented in consequence. All appointments to the police force were made at first by the mayor and aldermen, the patrolmen being paid two dollars a day and holding office simply during the pleasure of those who appointed them.

  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.
