How is data used to prevent violence?
By tracking the exact location of gun violence, we gain valuable data that can be used for delivering targeted, non-enforcement-based interventions. These interventions are designed to bring social and economic resources to the doorsteps of residents who have recently or persistently experienced gun and gang violence.
Made possible through data-sharing between law enforcement, offices of violence prevention and community stakeholders, these interventions have been shown to prevent immediate retaliation and address the trauma and toxic stress that are known causes of systemic violence in at-risk communities.
Panelists will discuss:
- Non-enforcement-based interventions
- Social and economic resources for communities
- Crime retaliation prevention
- Trauma from systematic violence
