The Violence Reduction Initiative (VRI) – a research center designed to address violent crime in Chattanooga – was recently created by UTC’s Dr. Rick Dierenfeldt and the UTC Criminal Justice Department. The VRI represents a bold commitment to bridging the gap between academic research and real-world solutions to help improve law-enforcement strategies and reduce crime in our communities. The center will help make an impact on our community but also help the UTC Criminal Justice Department be more competitive for external funding, encourage a higher level of community engagement, support student-faculty research collaboration, and put the department in a position to develop research and policy that addresses highly important issues.

Let’s not give up, we can build a better world, we can build peace. During Save the Children International launch event of the report in today’s challenging contexts, UNICEF will talk about: 1️⃣ What strategies can be strengthened or adapted to protect better children facing the devastating impacts of armed conflict? 2️⃣ With global peacekeeping operations facing significant resource constraints, how can we ensure that child protection remains a core priority? Infos about the event:
Director and UN Representative, Geneva Advocacy Office at Save the Children International
Tomorrow is World's Children Day. Unfortunately, for many children around the world and especially those living in conflict situations, their most fundamental rights are far too often being violated. If you are in Geneva, you are welcome to join us tomorrow for the launch of Save the Children's annual report "Stop the War on Children". With a panel of distinguished speakers, we will be exploring how we can better protect children in conflict and uphold their rights. 100 years after the Geneva Declaration was endorsed by the League of Nations, we will collectively reaffirm our commitment to children's rights and their universality. We must stop the war on children!
