Answer:
A. An attempt to generate a strong deterrent to gang violence.
Explanation:
Operation Ceasefire refers to a strategic program that was founded by the Boston Police Department's Youth Violence Strike Force in 1995. The program was officially implemented in 1996 and it was aimed at deterring illicit gun traffickers who supply juveniles with guns and to significantly curb gang firearms violence through the use of the knowledge and experience of Boston's law enforcement agents and other criminal justice agencies.
Hence, Operation Ceasefire has two main elements: a direct law enforcement focus on illicit gun traffickers who supply youth with guns and an attempt to generate a strong deterrent to gang violence. The law enforcement agents are saddled with the responsibility of communicating in clear terms to various gangs in the city that there would be dare consequences for any violation of the laws such as perpetrating violence, riots, sales of illicit drugs etc.
