Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This thematic panel will synergize multiple perspectives from “frontline” communities, or those most impacted by community violence, lack of safety, and exposure to trauma. The objective is to integrate local expertise and science to advance knowledge. This series of papers use qualitative or mixed methods to offer a nuanced understanding of at least one aspect of community violence or safety in different cities across the United States. Findings highlight the value of drawing on community member perspectives to better understand and address dynamics that are most visible to those on the inside of frontline communities.
