UChicago rolls out a first-of-its-kind management and leadership training initiative to combat gun violence across the country.
And the burden of helping save lives falls mainly on police departments and the community.That's why last month, the University of Chicago launched a first-of-its kind initiative to train the next generation of policing and community violence intervention leaders from across the country and the world.
"We're all aware that gun violence has increased not just in Chicago but across the country and that has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color," said Smith. "We also know that police alone cannot address these challenges so community violence intervention is a really promising alternative to reducing gun violence."
Smith said right now, a lot of programming is invested in frontline workers. "Here we're really trying to make sure that the senior and executive leaders of the organization have the skills to increase the impact of their work," she said."The combination of street outreach, of behavioral science interventions, of de-escalating stressful situations - that kind of pilgrimatic work can reduce gun violence," said Smith.
