A Review of Minneapolis’s Youth Violence Prevention Initiative
This publication, from the National Center for Victims of Crime,
describes an initiative started in 2006 by the city of Minneapolis
to prevent and reduce violence by and against youth. To document the
program and highlight its law enforcement innovations, NCVC staff
visited Minneapolis in October of 2008, conducting a series of
interviews with Minneapolis and Hennepin County officials,
community leaders, and law enforcement officers.
