Community-Based Violence Prevention Program

 

Goals: To eliminate youth gun and gang violence Objectives: The Community-Based Violence Prevention (CBVP) Program helps states and localities support a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach to community youth gun and gang violence through prevention, intervention, suppression, and reentry in targeted communities. The CBVP Program is designed to support and enhance programs and approaches that replicate models that have been proven to have a positive impact on the reduction of violence in target communities. Toward achievement of the ultimate goal of eliminating community violence, the CBVP Program has three main objectives: to change community norms regarding violence; to provide alternatives to violence when gangs and individuals in the community are making risky behavior decisions; and, to increase awareness of the perceived risks and costs of involvement in violence among high-risk young people. The CBVP Program supports effective use of focused deterrence (enforcement) strategies and public health and education approaches to stop violence. This will be accomplished by supporting communities to establish and strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and outreach workers, clergy, community leaders and family members in efforts to deter young people from committing violence, particularly shootings and killings. The CBVP Program also calls for the strengthening of communities so they have the capacity to exercise social controls and to respond to issues that affect community violence. The performance measures associated with these objectives are: PM 1: Number of individuals served (by population) PM 2: Percentage of eligible individuals served by a prevention service PM 3: Percentage of eligible individuals served by an intervention service
