Roots (CVI–R) — Building Evidence for Grassroots Community Violence Prevention. New
York, NY: Research and Evaluation Center, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City
University of New York.
The crime and justice field recently started to label a wide array of violence prevention strategies as Community Violence Interventions (or CVI). Many of these strategies depend on law enforcement and social services, but the most innovative approaches are community-centered and community-sourced. This report examines the current state of statistical evidence for grassroots community violence programs. It also serves as a tool for practitioners to better understand statistical research evaluations.
