From reading them, I am not sure if it scalable or it is dependent on unique circumstances and people.

I think the idea of identifying those tiny fraction who do almost all the gun crime and locking them up for a while and also offering them some way out of that lifestyle makes a lot of sense, otherwise they will just keep shooting people, I think it's a lot cheaper too in the long run. Dead bodies and murder cases cost money. We will have to see how it works in Sacramento, that's a city of 500,000.
