The Public Welfare Foundation has provided generous support to NICJR to provide gun violence reduction strategy (GVRS) training, and technical assistance to several US cities.
To ensure that this work is grounded in data and meaningfully integrated into each city’s existing violence reduction landscape, NICJR first developed a series of reports.
This analysis breaks down the specific governmental costs associated with each fatal and nonfatal shooting in a jurisdiction, including crime scene response, hospital and rehabilitation, criminal justice, incarceration, victim support, and lost tax revenue. NICJR has conducted a series of these studies in jurisdictions across the US, releasing findings in powerful, detailed infographic reports designed to inform policy and bolster support for GVRS efforts.
This report uses detailed data provided by a jurisdiction to examine fatal and nonfatal shootings in the past 12–24 months. This analysis identifies the specific nature of gun violence in the jurisdiction and the unique characteristics of groups and individuals at highest risk of being involved in gun violence, equipping the site to strategically focus interventions.
This assessment offers a high-level overview of a jurisdiction’s gun violence problem through analysis of publicly available data on the jurisdiction’s fatal and nonfatal shootings in the past 12–24 months, equipping the site to strategically focus interventions.
This analysis provides a comprehensive portrait of a jurisdiction’s existing violence reduction ecosystem. Organized around the categories of violence prevention, violence intervention, and community transformation, this report examines both government and community-based resources to identify service gaps and opportunities for increased coordination and collaboration.
NICJR’s Cost of Gun Violence, Gun Violence Problem Analysis or Gun Violence Assessment, and Violence Reduction Landscape Analysis reports for each PWF city are provided below.
