For purposes of this Fund, “violence intervention” is defined as:
Disrupting cycles of violence by focusing on individuals already engaged in behaviors that place them at greatest risk for being a victim and/or perpetrator of violence. This includes young people who are between the ages of 15 to 24 years old and are disconnected from school and work– or any other antisocial groups, direct victims of gun violence, and/or individuals in close relationship with someone who has been victimized by gun violence. The work of community violence intervention looks like:
- Mentorship through a case management model to those at greatest risk of becoming a victim or a perpetrator of violence
- High-risk intervention to mediate ongoing disputes and prevent retaliatory violence
- Safe Passage to schools to reduce school violence and improve attendance
- Support to survivors of community violence who are not supported by traditional victim services agencies
