The city has worked on this violence intervention or interruption model for quite a number of years.
It is now one year since that model has been scaled up into several Chicago neighborhoods.
A lot of resources are being put into this, with public money and private foundations putting in hundreds of millions of dollars.
Last year, the group Scaling Community Violence Intervention for a Safer Chicago, known as SC2, was announced.
SC2 is focused on eight Chicago neighborhoods to scale up the Community violence intervention (CVI) programs there using community members as peacekeepers. They say it’s working.
An analysis of data from the City of Chicago shows that compared to the same period last year, shooting incidents are down 39 percent, fatal shootings are down more than 35 percent and non-fatal shootings are down more than 41 percent.
“As peacekeepers and CVI organizations across this city, you are the ones making the true difference in our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson.
