Concretely, that could mean a new kind of ZOSO. Let's call it a ZOSSI: zone of special social intervention, where the balance between repression and intervention is tilted to the second element. That would be a security post of 15 to 20 soldiers and police (solving their human-power problem), and a social post of seven to 10 violence interrupters and social workers from civil society (coupled with substantial private- and public-sector infrastructure input).
An aggressive 'plan' would be to do this in 30 to 40 volatile and potentially vulnerable communities. And do it IMMEDIATELY. Selection would be the joint task of a combined security, bipartisan and civil-society committee. Sixteen hundred to 1,800 murders must NOT be allowed to happen in 2018.
