SUMMARY:Community Firearm Violence Exposure and Weapon Carrying
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research for this webinar focused on community violence prevention\, examining the complexities of firearm violence through the lens of recent research funded by NCGVR. Specifically\, this session zeroes in on urban gun violence\, the leading cause of death for young Black men. \nIn the first presentation\, Charles Lanfear\, Ph.D\, discusses a longitudinal study of Chicago residents that exposes stark disparities in the experiences of firearm violence and firearm carrying based on race\, sex\, and birth cohort. Highlighting the varying ages of first exposure to gun violence and onset of gun carrying\, the study emphasizes changing societal conditions over time and their impact on individuals’ encounters with gun violence and gun carrying over the life course. Next\, Elise White\, Ph.D.\, offers an intimate look at the lives of young gun-carriers in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn. Through personal narratives\, the research uncovers the pervasive fear driving these young individuals—predominantly Black men—to arm themselves\, amidst a backdrop of limited economic opportunities and mistrust of law enforcement. In the final presentation\, Dorothy Dillard\, Ph.D\, discusses the environmental factors influencing gun possession decisions among young Black men in high crime cities. By examining the lived experiences of these individuals\, the presentation highlights a need for community-centric approaches to safety and prevention. \nLearn more and REGISTER

SUMMARY:Measuring Victim Service Outcomes with iMPRoVE
DESCRIPTION:Join CVR staff and colleagues to learn about the free iMPRoVE tool for measuring victim service outcomes. iMPRoVE (Measuring Provider Responses to Victimization Experiences)\, made available for all victim and survivor-serving organizations through funding from the Office for Victims of Crime\, is designed to help providers gather crucial feedback about the outcomes and quality of the services. \niMPRoVE simplifies data collection\, enabling victims and survivors to anonymously share their experiences about the services they received and how those services affected their lives and well-being. This valuable feedback can then be tracked over time and benchmarked against the results of other\, similar programs to help providers enhance program design\, improve service delivery\, build staff morale\, and demonstrate the effectiveness of services. These data are also being used to target training\, build community partnerships and even strengthen requests for additional funding. \nThis introductory webinar is offered July 9 and 17. \nRegister
