Community-Based Violence Prevention Program
The Community-Based
This Program will work with community-based organizations to develop and implement strategies to reduce and prevent violence, particularly shootings and killings.
This will be accomplished by relying on outreach workers, clergy, and other community leaders to intervene in conflicts or potential conflicts and promote alternatives to violence.
The Community-Based Violence Prevention Program will also involve law enforcement in its efforts and depends heavily on a strong public education campaign to instill in people the message that shootings and violence are not acceptable.
Finally, the model calls for the strengthening of communities so they have the capacity to exercise informal social controls and to respond to issues that affect them, including community violence.
These activities are organized into five core components that address both the community and those individuals who are most at risk of involvement in a shooting or killing: community mobilization, outreach, faith leader involvement, police participation and public education.
