Abstract
Gang interventions often rely on police for intelligence but seldom incorporate them into treatment delivery despite the risks that gang members might pose to civilian case workers. The Gang Intervention and Exiting Program (GIEP), implemented in British Columbia, Canada, uses an individualized case management approach and pairs civilian case managers with police officers to provide client services and supports to encourage gang exiting and prosocial behaviors. The current study examined the operational experiences of program administrators and stakeholders involved with the GIEP via 38 semi-structured qualitative interviews. The thematic analysis yielded a series of strengths and challenges related to (a) program delivery and supports, (b) resources, and (c) administration and structure. The findings suggest that the civilian-police pairing has multiple benefits, but the direct role of police also brings challenges that may require additional consideration for program success.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
