Report of the Ad Hoc Violence Reduction Group: City of New Haven
Type Report Format PDF Author City of New Haven Year 2001 Related Sectors Public Safety Organization New Haven Police Department

At the invitation of Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. a large group of criminal justice system and community leaders came together recently to explore concrete, short-term strategies to engage the community in efforts to further reduce violence in the City of New Haven, building on and extending the work of Community Policing.

The group met during three sessions to review crime trends and data on the many ongoing initiatives to address violence, discuss the underlying issues, and devise specific strategies that can be implemented in the short term to reduce the level of violence.

The strategies are based on a public health model of violence reduction, strengthening existing and building new community partnerships to reduce risk factors contributing to violence and to strengthen protective factors contributing to prevention of violence. New and existing partners would accept responsibility for implementing and sustaining these strategies.
