The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NIJ collaborated on a book that focuses on promising principles for gang membership prevention.

Panelists also explored the direction of gang research for the future.
Chicago Ceasefire
June 2009
CeaseFire is an evidence-based, data-driven intervention designed to stop shootings and killings in high-incidence neighborhoods by directly intervening with those who are most likely to be involved in a shooting and by building support for alternatives to violence in those neighborhoods. Panel members will share their experiences “on the ground” mediating conflicts and working one-on-one with high-risk individuals.
What Is Research and Evaluation Evidence and How Can We Use It?
June 2010
This NIJ Conference Panel will explore the development and use of evidence-based policies, programs and technologies to improve effectiveness and efficiencies related to government. Through casual observation, practices and programs may appear to be effective, but under closer scrutiny the results may look much different.
