First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study examines community-centered safety models (CCSMs) used in U.S. cities to prevent violence among youth and young adults. Researchers will analyze data from 15 cities to see how these alternative crisis response approaches impact homicide and assault rates. The goal is to understand what works best and why, but this is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
