Tackling Community Violence:
OJP is dedicated to preventing and reducing violence in communities across the country. The Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative is grounded in a promising and growing body of research on the effectiveness of community-driven practices for reducing violence. The more than $77 million in grants OJP is awarding in FY 23 will support holistic, evidence-based approaches to addressing community gun violence and help communities become co-producers of public safety.
