FROM CHICAGO TO BRONX: A CASE STUDY IN PROGRAM REPLICATION – The Save Our Streets program in the South Bronx is the replication of the Chicago Project for Violence Prevention’s evidence-based CeaseFire: The Campaign to Stop the Shooting program, a cutting-edge gun violence prevention model that aims to reduce and prevent shootings through the use of public health strategies. S.O.S. is a coordinated strategy to address local shootings. The Center for Court Innovation currently operates a replication of CeaseFire Chicago in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Community partnerships are a key tenet of the CeaseFire Chicago model. Ife Charles – Deputy director at CCI will talk about the project as well as the ways that religious and community leaders could be great help for gun control.
