National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention

*

Executive summary

Mayor Emanuel and President Preckwinkle have tasked a leadership group with closing the gap with peer cities and cutting violence in half.

Our goals:

We will cut violence in half in ten years and get halfway there by 2015.

The reduction in violence will be sustainable long-term, because we will focus equally on community stabilization.

As a result of our efforts, the Chicago region will be measurably safer, and people will feel safe in each neighborhood.

More stable communities will empower residents and offer more options for work, school, and shopping within your own neighborhoods.

Preview a framework of a report card

Agreeing on how to report progress will help align multiple stakeholders and instill accountability:

General public.  Understand our approach and progress made

Decision-makers.  Inform investment priorities by understanding areas in which we are more and less successful

Service providers.  Provide clarity on which outcomes to target and what to track; highlight best practices

The report card should address both our goals

Reducing violence.  How violent crimes compares to that of other big cities, where we're trending, and what's happening at a community level

Stabilizing communities.  Aggregate measures of how we're doing on the key strategies of prevention, intervention, and response
