Strategic Crime Prevention

The Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management has been instrumental in collaborating with a number of jurisdictions in experimenting with new problem-solving frameworks to prevent crime. To date, most of these projects have focused on reducing gang and group-involved violence. Pioneered in Boston, these new initiatives have followed a core set of activities to reduce violence. These activities have included a close partnership between researchers and practitioners, and the convening of an interagency working group representing a wide range of criminal justice and social service capabilities. The "pulling levers"-focused deterrence strategy has been a key component of these new prevention strategies. Jurisdictions experimenting with these new strategic approaches have shown promising results in the reduction of violence.
