In an effort to combat the high per capita murder rate in Rochester, Mayor Duffy (then Police Chief) set out to "make an example" of Thurston Zoo.<br> + <br> + According to an article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:<br> + <br> + ''Police put the gang under heavy surveillance. Within a few months, he said, at least 14 members were arrested and faced prison for drugs, weapons and other offenses.<br> + <br> + Then Rochester officials started holding the courtroom "call-ins" for known gang members with criminal records. Attendance is a condition of parole or probation.<br> + <br> + The young men see a slide show of each of the Thurston Zoo gang members and hear about how the gang was broken up and why.<br> + <br> + Then their own pictures flick up on the screen. Police discuss their records, their hangouts and their associates, and warn them not to be the next Thurston Zoo.<br> + <br> + "It removes the anonymity these kids want. They want to be on the corner with their hoodies up. Now they know we know exactly who they are, and I think it's a pretty powerful point," Duffy said.''[[Footnote(http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/specialreports/murderinthestreets/s_204035.html)]]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
