NIJ-Day: Research-Based Practice to Reduce Youth Gun and Gang/Group Violence

Thu, Nov 17, 3:30 to 4:50pm, International 3, International Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

With funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and management by the National Institute of Justice, the Urban Institute (Urban) undertook a translational research effort to synthesize the relevant evidence base and examine the current state of practice to provide actionable guidance for promising and evidence-based strategies to reduce youth group/gang and gun violence.

Researchers from Urban will present findings from the research synthesis and environmental scan of practice, as well as the key considerations put forth in a practice guide for local stakeholders looking to implement violence reduction efforts. The panel also features an expert discussant who will situate the findings of this project in the long-term trajectory of developing and refining practice to reduce youth gun violence associated with gangs.
