We are thrilled to share the release of “The San Francisco Violence Reduction Initiative: A Case Study in the Complexity of Reducing Community Gun Violence.” This comprehensive report highlights years of collaborative efforts to implement an evidence-based approach to reduce gun violence in San Francisco’s District 10—an area disproportionately impacted by this issue. Key findings include: *A 50% reduction in homicides and nonfatal shootings in District 10 during 2022–2023 compared to other parts of the city. *Insights into the critical roles of sustained political support, community trust, and a strong intervention infrastructure. *Practical lessons for policymakers, practitioners, and communities seeking sustainable solutions to violence. We invite you to explore the full case study and its findings here: https://lnkd.in/gPp4sKwy
