Engaging with Communities to Prevent Violent Extremism: A Review of the Obama Administration's CVE Initiative
From the Executive Summary: "In response to a series of high-profile homegrown terrorist attacks, in August 2011 the Obama Administration launched a multi-faceted initiative to prevent violent extremism. This program, what we call the 'Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Initiative,' supplemented established counterterrorism practices with a set of activities designed to engage communities in the process of diminishing the appeal and effectiveness of violent extremist ideologies. The CVE Initiative developed gradually over the next five and a half years but was promptly terminated after the Trump Administration took office in January 2017. This report presents a review of the Obama Administration's CVE Initiative. The conclusions are based on research conducted from 2014-16 consisting of: a nationwide survey of US Attorneys about their CVE activities*, interviews of key stakeholders at the various federal agencies that comprised the CVE Initiative, interviews of federal law enforcement officials in local U.S. Attorneys' Offices and FBI Field Offices, and focus groups of Muslim Americans about their views of federal CVE efforts and related issues."

Gang Affiliation and Radicalization to Violent Extremism Within Somali-American Communities: Draft Final Summary Overview
From the Project Purpose: "The primary purpose of this project was to understand to what degree radicalization to violent extremism and gang involvement are related. We proposed to empirically assess the degree to which gang affiliation and radicalization to violent extremism among Somali-American youth are related to each other, and potential divergences or convergences in these phenomena. Somali communities in North America offer a unique and important opportunity to explore questions of gang affiliation and radicalization to violent extremism within a discrete population that has had an unusually high base rate of exposure to psychosocial circumstances that can be related to these problems, such as discrimination, the challenge of developing one's social identity while contending with acculturation, and the potential to feel alienated from the larger society. We examined the intersection of radicalization to violent extremism and gang affiliation in two stages: 1) Pre-radicalization, where we broadly examined factors associated with attitudes towards violent extremism and gang affiliation among a general ethnic Somali population, and 2) Known radicalization, where we examined in-depth case studies of Somali youth who had left Minneapolis to allegedly join extremist groups for mention of or reference to gangs. In addition, supplemental funding allowed us to explore changes in radicalization to violent extremism over time. Specifically, we sought to understand how changes in psychosocial factors contributed to changes in attitudes towards violent extremism. Finally, we sought to examine how Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) programming was experienced by and impacted members of a general Somali immigrant population."

CrimeSolutions - The Evidence-Based Guide for Justice Agencies in Search of Practices and Programs That Really Work
From the Document: "Science supports corrections agencies and the larger criminal justice system by delivering precise, reliable processes capable of generating consistent, repeatable outcomes. The National Institute of Justice is tasked by Congress with producing real-world benefits, through scientific innovation, for justice agencies, their stakeholders and the public. One important way NIJ [National Institute of Justice] accomplishes this goal is through program evaluation. Program evaluation methods, themselves the product of rigorous science, have established not all science-based program and practice innovations are equally reliable. With the pace of scientific discovery around the world accelerating as never before, justice agencies seek assurance the particular science underlying an existing or contemplated program or practice is sound, and the program or practice, if properly implemented, can work as intended. NIJ has an established, evidence-based online resource to help justice agencies find and refine reliable solutions."

Hate Crimes: National Database Identifies Traits and Motivations Marking Distinct Pathways of People Who Commit Bias-Based Offenses
From the Document: "Individuals who commit hate crimes do so out of a variety of bias-based motivations, and the demographic and other characteristics of those individuals can vary widely depending on the type of hate crime committed. A recent study of unprecedented scope on what drives people who perpetrate hate crimes found that, in light of those diverse motivations and traits, the tools needed to monitor and rehabilitate those individuals must be flexible and capable of addressing risks in heterogeneous populations. [...] The purpose of this study by START [National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism] was to enhance understanding of characteristics of hate crime, also known as bias crime, in the United States."

Five Things About School-Based Violence Prevention and Intervention Programs
From the Document: "School-based prevention and intervention programs are designed to address a variety of issues faced by youth today, both within and outside of schools. The five statements below are based on practices rated by CrimeSolutions. '1. School-based bullying prevention programs prevent victimization and reduce perpetration[,]' '2. Cyberbullying prevention and intervention programs can reduce online bullying perpetration and victimization[,]' '3. Universal school-based prevention and intervention programs for aggressive and disruptive behavior can reduce aggressive or disruptive behavior[,]' '4. Interventions to reduce dating and sexual violence for school-aged youth and young adults do not reduce dating violence victimization[,]' [and] '5. Selective school-based violence prevention programs can reduce aggression in K-12 students who are considered at risk or who have demonstrated such antisocial behaviors.'"

NIJ Recidivism Forecasting Challenge: Contextualizing the Results
From the Abstract: "The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) recently hosted the Fiscal Year 2021 Recidivism Forecasting Challenge. The primary aim of this research competition was to increase public safety and the fair administration of justice by improving the ability to forecast and understand the variables that impact the likelihood that an individual under parole supervision will recidivate. Entrants were provided with two datasets. The first was a training dataset of over 18,000 individuals released from prison to parole supervision in the state of Georgia during the period of January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015. These data contained information about individuals' demographic characteristics, supervision case information, prison case information, prior criminal and community supervision history in the state of Georgia, activities for current supervision, and whether they recidivated in any of the three years after they began supervision."

2017 National Crime Victims' Rights Week Resource Guide: Crime and Victimization Fact Sheets: Mass Casualty Shootings
"Mass casualty shootings are rare compared to other forms of homicide; however, due to extensive media and policy attention, as well as the number of people affected by each event, they are an important subset of crime. Measuring mass casualty shootings is complicated by the absence of a commonly recognized definition. Federal agencies define a mass casualty shooting as the murder of three or more individuals. Due to the rarity of these events, federal agencies do not collect data on mass shootings, but they do collect data on 'active shooters.' Active shooter incidents are defined as incidents where 'one or more individuals actively engage in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.' This definition does not include gang- or drug-related incidents, the accidental discharge of a firearm, or family- and intimate partner-related shootings. A majority of mass casualty research only accounts for people physically injured or killed, and discounts individuals who witnessed the shooting or were threatened by the shooter, even though they often experience psychological trauma as well."

Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016
From the Document: "Based on the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI), about 1 in 5 (21%) of all state and federal prisoners reported that they had possessed or carried a firearm when they committed the offense for which they were serving time in prison. More than 1 in 8 (13%) of all prisoners had used a firearm by showing, pointing, or discharging it during the offense for which they were imprisoned. Fewer than 1 in 50 (less than 2%) of all prisoners had obtained a firearm from a retail source and possessed, carried, or used it during the offense for which they were imprisoned. An estimated 287,400 prisoners had possessed a firearm during their offense. Among these, more than half (56%) had either stolen it (6%), found it at the scene of the crime (7%), or obtained it of the street or from the underground market (43%). Most of the remainder (25%) had obtained it from a family member or friend, or as a gift. Seven percent had purchased it under their own name from a licensed firearm dealer."

2018 National Crime Victims' Rights Week Resource Guide: Crime and Victimization Fact Sheets: Workplace Violence
"Workplace violence is defined as violence or the threat of violence directed at someone on duty or at work. Following a series of high-profile events, workplace violence has been recognized as an organizational, community, and societal issue. While workplace violence can range from physical assault to robbery to homicide, the most common form of workplace violence is simple assault. Simple assault is defined by the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) as an attack, without a weapon, that results in no or minor injuries (e.g., cuts, scratches, black eyes) or any injury requiring fewer than two days in the hospital. Compared to violence outside the workplace, workplace violence is fairly rare; however, given the amount of time that Americans spend at work, it is an important subset of crime."

Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities
"Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities provides information about how facilities can ensure that youth receive the supports and services they require as they experience the disruptions that emergencies inevitably cause. This document emphasizes the importance of ongoing communication and collaboration with community partners in the emergency planning process. In addition, facilities are encouraged to prepare for all emergencies that may affect their geographical area--for everything from a fire in a building to a major flood, earthquake, or hurricane that impacts the surrounding region. The emergency management cycle encompasses four interdependent phases: prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Prevention/ mitigation measures create a safer environment and facilitate recovery from later emergencies by reducing the risk of serious damage. Preparedness in the form of drills and exercises helps ensure an effective and efficient emergency response. During the recovery phase, careful assessments of what worked and what did not contribute to improved preparedness for subsequent emergencies. All phases are vital elements in the emergency management cycle. This publication provides key principles and recommendations, but it is not overly prescriptive. Emergency planners inevitably will need to adapt these guidelines to the particular requirements of their facilities. This document is targeted to state, county, and local juvenile justice authorities charged with the custodial care and supervision of youth in the juvenile justice system, with particular focus on those authorities who oversee residential treatment and correctional and detention facilities that house juveniles via court-ordered placements. The principles outlined in this document may also apply to emergency planning for youth in out-of-home placement. The document is divided into 12 sections. Section 1 provides an overview of the planning process and provides information about forming a planning team; assessing the facility's preparedness; analyzing courses of action; and writing, approving, disseminating, exercising, and updating the plan. Sections 2--12 provide an indepth look at key issues juvenile justice residential facilities may want to consider as they write or update their plans. These issues include emergency preparedness training for staff; the protection of critical infrastructure; protocols for communication with families, other agencies, and the public; and effective emergency medical care and mental health services. An extensive list of references and resources at the end of the document provides additional sources of information about how to best prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies."

Police Officer Body-Worn Cameras: Assessing the Evidence
From the Executive Summary: "In recent years, technological innovation has continually shaped law enforcement, from less-lethal devices (e.g., TASER) and forensic evidence to advanced crime analysis. The most recent technological innovation that may redefine policing is officer body-worn camera systems. The technology has received considerable attention in the media and among policing officials. For example, in her August 2013 ruling that declared the New York Police Department's (NYPD) stop, question, and frisk program unconstitutional, Judge Shira Scheindlin included body-worn cameras as part of the judicial order. On September 11, 2013, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) held a conference on the technology. Although advocates and critics have made numerous claims regarding body-worn cameras, there have been few balanced discussions of the benefits and problems associated with the technology and even fewer discussions of the empirical evidence supporting or refuting those claims. This publication provides a review of the available evidence on officer body-worn cameras. The goal is to provide a comprehensive resource that will help law enforcement agencies to understand the factors they should consider to make informed decisions regarding the adoption of body-worn camera technology."

Nation's Two Measures of Homicide
This is a Program Report from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics. "The United States uses two national data collection systems to track detailed information on homicides: the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supplementary Homicide Reports and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Fatal Injury Reports. Both measures were developed as part of a federal effort to improve national statistical systems in the early twentieth century and have gone through a number of changes since then to improve their consistency and coverage. Each program provides valuable information on the nature, trends, and patterns of homicides in the United States. Although the two measures generally capture information on the same types of events, they are designed for distinct purposes and collect different types of information. In combination, however, they produce a fairly comprehensive understanding of homicide, the most serious form of violence."
