Reducing Gun Violence

This Research Report is part of the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ's) Reducing Gun Violence publication series. Each report in the series describes the imple- mentation and effects of an individual, NIJ-funded, local- level program designed to reduce firearm-related vio- lence in a particular U.S. city. Some studies received co- funding from the U.S. Depart- ment of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services; one also received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion and the Justice Depart- ment's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
