Pulling Levers Policing

Pulling levers strategies are one fruit of the problem-oriented policing movement. It emerged as part of the Boston Gun Project aimed at youth “gang” violence in Boston. Pulling levers (all legal tools and sanctions) or focused deterrence strategies deploy enforcement, services, the moral voice of communities, and deliberate communications in order to create a powerful deterrent to particular behaviour by particular offenders. It includes: (1) Selection of a particular crime problem; (2) Pulling together a public criminal justice interagency enforcement group (police, probation, parole, prosecutors and federal agencies); (3) Conducting research, usually relying heavily on the field experience of front-line police officers to identify key offenders (including groups) and the context of their behaviour; (4) Framing a special enforcement operation directed at those offenders and groups of offenders; (5) Matching those enforcement operations with parallel efforts to direct services and the moral voices of affected communities to those same offenders groups; (6) Communicating directly and repeatedly with offenders and group to let them know that they are under particular scrutiny… One form of this communication is the “forum”, “notification” or “call in”, in which offenders are invited or directed (usually because they are on probation or parole) to attend face-to-face meetings with law enforcement officials, service providers, and community figures.

Creo que "apalancamiento" es la palabra más adecuada en este caso. "Leverage"...e incluso el mismo texto en inglés dice: "Pulling Levers Policing". Es que las autoridades policiales están, astutamente, utilizando todos los medios y recursos legales disponibles [fuera de métodos violentos] con tal de "obligar" a los delincuentes a actuar dentro de la ley. Ya que es un concepto relativamente nuevo, lo más probable es que aún no exista un término fijo en castellano.

la estrategia de "apalancamiento"


Explanation:
Me parece que es la misma idea de "leverage", o sea, recurrir a todas las posibles formas de hacer presión o de actuar en conjunto entre todos los actores del ámbito de la ley. Se explica muy bien en las siguientes oraciones.
