摘要

In the fall of 1998, the Department of Justice (DOJ) awarded two-year grants to Winston- Salem and four other communities under the Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative (SACSI). The heart of SACSI was a collaborative strategic-planning model designed to help communities find and implement effective strategies to address their most pressing crime problems. Winston-Salem chose to focus efforts on reduction of serious juvenile violence. Using data collected by a research team from Wake Forest University (WFU) and Winston- Salem State University (WSSU) as a basis for decision-making, SACSI-initiated partnerships developed and implemented strategies that focused on specific individuals, sites and neighborhoods that had the highest rates of criminal violence. Gun-related violence received special emphasis, and the strategies aimed at changing behaviors of both juvenile offenders and adults who were recruiting juveniles into criminal activity. Implementation of major program activities began in September 1999. The evaluation builds directly from the logic model that was developed by the Project Director with guidance from the research team. Under this design, the researchers employed various data collection methods (e.g., interviews, questionnaires, document review, observation of meetings and program sessions, focus groups) to assess whether SACSI was achieving the outcomes expected by the project team. The research activities, funded under the original NIJ grant and reported here, examine the process through which SACSI has been implemented in Winston-Salem, as well as the outcomes that occurred early in the change process. The overarching intent of this phase of the evaluation was to provide the various SACSI stakeholders with information on what the initiative has achieved over its first two years of operation. At the same time, we hope that the data reported here will establish a baseline for tracking the longer term, more systemic changes in violence-related norms and behavior that the initiative is ultimately designed to effect.
