Effective approaches to #violenceprevention fr/NY. "The homicide and gun violence ... is acted out by a very, very small number of high-risk people,” [@DavidKennedyNYC] said. “We can tell who they are and we can give them a special kind of care and attention.”
ICYMI: Check out this recap from our 2019 National Conference held on June 18th and 19th. Special thanks to @NNSCommunities' staff, @JohnJayCollege, @JohnJayResearch, @Arnold_Ventures, @FordFoundation, Pritzker Foundation, and @JoyceFdn thecrimereport.org/2019/06/19/can…
While filming "South Side" on location, Sultan Salahuddin was moved by the amount of neighborhood kids looking to get involved. The Chicago native helped to launch Lane 44, a non-profit designed to create film production jobs for South Side youth. bit.ly/2x8mt58
Academic #persistence and achievement are often the last priority for youth dealing w/ #trauma, #homelessness, #violence, poverty and other complex issues. So proud of our SYNC youth who graduated this yr w/help fr family, teachers, mentors and support svcs. You're amazing!
“[LGB/TGNC] youth face higher rates of detention & incarceration. A 2015 study shows that 20% of youth in the juvenile justice system identify as #LGBTQ & gender-nonconforming, even though they compose only 5-7% of the total US youth population.” #Pride prisonpolicy.org/blog/2019/01/2…
Police are stationed in Chicago’s public schools. Local leaders are debating training and accountability. We’re catching you up on what’s next citybureau.org/newswire/2019/…
Effective #mentoring requires time to build #trust; to understand circumstances, strengths and challenges; to connect youth to svcs; to set goals and to manage setbacks. Congrats to @UCANchicago, @WestsideHealthA, @KLEO_Chicago, @ChiUrbanLeague and @YAPInc!
Through the commitment and focus of our mentoring grantees in implementing an evidence-based model, we tripled the ave time mentors spent with youth. Dosage matters, part. for high-risk youth.
Happy #Juneteenth to our youth, partners, donors and advocates. More background from @HISTORY and @blackishabc: bit.ly/2WUf2J0 and youtu.be/M_FP7x322cc

From the report-"45% of state prison admissions nationwide are due to violations of probation or parole for new offenses or technical violations." Realigning resources to those most at risk for violence in adult & youth systems makes sense for public safety & economic #ROI.
A new report by @CSGJC, with support from @Arnold_Ventures, reveals the startling extent to which probation and parole violations contribute to states’ high prison admissions and populations, as well as the subsequent cost to taxpayers. #ReentryMatters csgjusticecenter.org/confinedandcos…
A terrific example of service providers collaborating to measure and learn together in order to improve outcomes for youth.
