Strategies to reduce community violence with Thomas Abt, JD

Thomas Abt, founding director of The Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction (VRC) and associate research professor of Criminology & Criminal Justice at The University of Maryland, develops evidence-informed strategies that bring together city leaders, law enforcement, public health officials, and community-based groups to reduce community violence in US cities. Community violence, often referred to as urban violence or street violence, typically occurs in a public setting, among individuals who may or may not know each other, and is often connected to gang and gun violence. It is not spread evenly across cities, but is hyper-concentrated amongst small groups of people in hotspots. Thomas walks us through how Community Violence impacts the entire community at large with increased taxes, raised insurance premiums, and reduced property value. Through systematic meta-review of community violence reduction strategies, Abt and the VRC have found that the most focused, balanced, and fair interventions are the most successful. The VRC has worked with several US cities, including Knoxville, Boston, and most recently, St. Louis, to implement community violence reduction plans.
