81. Reflections On TCWF’s Violence Prevention Initiative The violence prevention Initiative was not just a grantmaking structure; that tied together funds for youth violence prevention and for law enforcement. http://www.tcwf.org/pub_reflections/2004/may/pages/moving_the_needle.htm

Select from Table of Contents... Preface Introduction Balancing the Push for Punishment Moving the Needle Crossing the Divide Elusive Evidence Conclusion The Violence Prevention Initiative was not just a grantmaking structure; it provided spiritual nurturing, solidarity, and strong support for the work of grantees. Also influencing the Board’s decision was a 1992 publication from the Centers for Disease Control, “The Prevention of Youth Violence: a Framework for Community Action.” Using the framework as a guide, the Foundation developed an initiative grantmaking structure with four integrated components: community action, policy, leadership, and research. For the community action component the Foundation initially funded 18 organizations, “CAPs,” to form collaboratives and to explore the potential for reducing violence against youth through health promotion programs; to attempt to influence local policy; and to support statewide advocacy efforts. As part of the policy component, the Foundation established the Pacific Center for Violence Prevention to design strategies and to coordinate grantees’ efforts toward achieving three policy goals (which were developed by the Foundation’s leadership): increased restrictions on access to handguns; increased public support for youth violence prevention programs; and reduced access to alcohol, which was believed to be a significant contributor to violence against youth. In addition to funding the Pacific Center, the Foundation also supported the policy work of other grantees with a multimillion dollar, statewide public education campaign.

No standard profile of a school violent offender currently exists. At best, certain warning signs may indicate potential violence and specific factors may denote a greater likelihood of an individual carrying out violence. ADDRESSING SCHOOL VIOLENCE Prevention "While not every school may have to deal with a violent shooter, nearly every school experiences violent threats. " Mr. Hoang, former deputy chief of police for the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Police Department currently serves as an advisor to the Rockland County, New York, Police Academy. Various publications provide a comprehensive overview of school violence prevention programs and offer various steps communities can take to help prevent violence in their schools. First, communities should establish partnerships between schools and other public agencies. Because school violence remains a community problem, it requires collaboration from all residents, agencies, and businesses. Schools, police, business leaders, and elected officials all must cooperate to address school violence.

FAQs Contact Us Other IACP Sites Publications IACP Info IACP Net Policy Center Police Chief Magazine ... Training Keys Section 3 Guidelines for Law Enforcement Agencies Fifteen years ago police agencies provided little or no service to the victims of domestic violence because such intervention was not considered appropriate. Today nearly every police department has a policy, procedures and resources dedicated to addressing domestic violence. Workplace violence warrants a similar response from law enforcement, given the rise of violent crime by nonstrangers in the workplace, the heightened concern of employers, the high risk for injury associated with these crimes, and the inappropriateness of using traditional police strategies when confronting multiple-victim workplace shooting situations. Many police executives have concluded that their existing domestic violence programs provide a useful framework for structuring new policies and procedures concerning workplace violence. This strategy was used by many of the police officials who developed the following guidelines for law enforcement agencies. These guidelines should help police address workplace violence in their communities without overtaxing departmental resources.

Fighting Liberalized Concealed Carry Laws LAW ENFORCEMENT RELATIONS Working with Law Enforcement in the Fight for a Safer America The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and its sister organization, The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence have worked closely with law enforcement for the past 25 years to reduce gun related injuries and deaths in America. The Brady Campaign was founded in 1974 as Handgun Control. Since 1983, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence has worked closely with law enforcement to educate the general public about the issues surrounding gun violence in the United States. In 2001, Law Enforcement Relations staff was proud to announce a new beginning in the fight for a safer America with the introduction of our new names: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The LER staff continues its commitment to support law enforcement in its goal of protecting American communities from gun violence. America's law enforcement knows the importance of common sense gun legislation that is designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands (violent criminals, felons and children) combined with laws that are strong and enforceable. The new Brady organizations agree that the laws that exist today should be enforced. Unfortunately because of the many loopholes in our laws, prosecutors are reluctant to take criminal cases into the courtroom, knowing they will never make it through the rigors of trial.

[Text Version] Domestic Violence Contact: Sgt. Michelle Hernandez, Michigan State Police, Prevention Services Section, (517) 336-6603 Domestic violence impacts Michigan families and communities at all levels. People across the entire spectrum, from infancy to the elderly, are the victims of this crime. It is not limited to any race, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, educational level, or occupation. According to the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, 41,822 people were reported as victims of domestic violence in 1999. We can be encouraged that this is down from 47,499 in 1998, but the numbers are still staggering. In 1999, 31 people were killed as a result of domestic violence. WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Michigan law requires that you have a "special" relationship with another individual to be considered "domestic" in nature. A special relationship between assailant and victim is defined as spouse, former spouse, resident, former resident, or they have a child in common. The "Power and Control Wheel" shows how batterers use different tactics to manipulate their environment and control their partners.

92. About CVPP: History -- Campus Violence Prevention Program The History of the UCD Rape prevention Education Program The Law EnforcementAssistance Administration (LEAA) responded to the effect that, http://cvpp.ucdavis.edu/about/history/

The History of the UCD Rape Prevention Education Program Debra Small-Maier November 1, 1979 The UCD Rape Prevention Education Program is part of a system-wide Rape Prevention Education Program; that is there exists sister programs on all nine of the University of California campuses. The original concept for the program was developed in 1976 at which time a Rape Prevention Education Program was instituted on he University of California, Berkeley campus under the direction of Ms. Maria Sakovich. In 1978 Ms. Sakovich together with Chief William Beall Jr., system-wide Police Services Coordinator who also operates out of the UC Berkeley campus, began to explore possible sources of outside funding for the program. In an attempt to realize this aim, Ms. Sakovich and Mr. Beall collaborated on the writing of a grant which they then submitted to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration in hopes of gaining funding for the UCB Rape Prevention Education Program. The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) responded to the effect that, while they would not consider funding a program that was limited to a single University of California campus, they would consider funding a system-wide Rape Prevention Education Program. Consequently the grant was revised to include the creation of similar programs on each of the University of California campuses and was resubmitted. In advocating the University of California as an organization/institution qualified to administer a Rape Prevention Education Program, the grant stated the following reasons;

Acknowledgements Foreword Executive Summary Introduction ... Conclusion Executive Summary This Action Plan to Reduce Community Violence and Sexual Violence has been developed, in the context of the Crime Reduction Strategy, to specifically address identified gaps in efforts to reduce sexual violence and community violence in New Zealand. It represents the first steps towards coordinated and comprehensive approaches to reducing community violence and sexual violence. Definitions Violence is defined according to the World Health Organisation's definition as: The intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation. (This includes physical, sexual and psychological abuse.) For the purpose of this Action Plan: Community violence is defined as violence between people who are not related, and who may or may not know each other (acquaintances and strangers). It generally, but not always, takes place outside the home, in public places. Sexual violence is defined as any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, sexual harassment, or act directed against a person's sexuality, using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting.
