Funding Safety: Crises and Opportunities For Violence Prevention Efforts

In this webinar from the Joyce Foundation, researchers from NYU and the University of Baltimore School of Law will discuss recent papers on strategies to sustain and expand funding for community violence intervention (CVI) and related programs, including improving access to victim compensation for underserved victims. These papers contextualize recent funding within the long history of public support for violence reduction and explore how coalitions of practitioners, policy advocates and other partners can leverage existing and potential resources, drawing lessons from efforts to reform access to public funding for survivors of violence through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Crime Victim Compensation Program.

• Featuring panelists:
  John Maki, Fellow, the New York University Marron Institute of Urban Management
• Heather Warnken, Executive Director, the Center for Criminal Justice Reform at the University of Baltimore School of Law
