An Overview: Community Violence Intervention Strategies
NCJA, with support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, has released two new resources for communities that are looking to implement or expand Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs
In April 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration proposed historic investments in CVI programming to combat the gun violence epidemic. A new fact sheet from NCJA, An Overview: Community Violence Intervention Strategies, provides tangible examples of four of the main types of CVI strategies. This resource was designed to provide a foundation for understanding to support new or existing CVI programs. In addition, in Episode 7 of the NCJA Podcast, NCJA Program Manager Gillian Caplan, the author of the fact sheet, discusses the four types of CVIs and how they fit into the current justice landscape.
