With funding from the National Institute of Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Urban Institute conducted an expansive research synthesis, extensive scan of practice, and engagement with subject-matter experts to identify and understand the current state of knowledge on reducing youth group/gang and gun violence and translate it into practice guidance. This guidance addresses how to build antiviolence infrastructure to ensure everything is in place for jurisdiction-wide, multicomponent, adaptable, and sustainable strategies to reduce youth gun violence and how to build effective programs and interventions that operate within and benefit from that infrastructure.
This Ask-the-Expert session will serve as a follow-up to an April 28, 2022, webinar hosted by the National Gang Center. This session will dive deeper into the webinar topic to address pertinent questions and concerns from the field. This session will focus on practice areas outlined in the webinar and will invite practitioners engaged in violence reduction efforts to share their knowledge and practical experience. Participants will be invited to submit questions in advance, which will be addressed by the practitioners.
