With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) of Princeton, New Jersey, the New York City Council and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, the Research and Evaluation Center at John Jay College worked with the Center for Court Innovation (CCI) and many other nonprofit and governmental partners to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the “Cure Violence” model of violence reduction.

The Cure Violence Evaluation was the central component in NYCCure, the Center’s program of studies on violence prevention in New York City. The NYC Cure evaluation team examined key components of the Cure Violence model, the procedures used to implement the model, the contributions of wrap-around services and other components of the intervention model, and its overall effectiveness in reducing pro-violent social norms among high-risk communities in New York.
