San Antonio City Council is considering a three-stage plan to fight violent crime, devised by UTSA criminologists. The first stage would focus on identifying and policing "hot spots." After six to 12 months, the next stage would work on underlying issues that lead to ongoing problems. Another six to 12 months later, the third stage would concentrate on ways to deter "high-risk offenders." A team of criminologists presented the plan to council members in a briefing on Wednesday.
