We have solutions."
"We are passionate about prevention, intervention, enforcement and re-entry strategies. We are passionate about measurement and even more passionate about saving our children from bullying, gangs and community violence."
The National Center for the Prevention of Community Violence located in Eastern Virginia is a nonprofit 501c(3) organization that conducts research, training, and evaluation on violence prevention efforts around the United States.

Our affiliates and volunteers have been honored with the top award in the nation for crime prevention (International Association of Chiefs of Police 2008) and top international awards for public affairs (Public Relations Society of America, Silver Anvil for Public Affairs 2010). We are committed to helping communities make good decisions in responding to the crisis of gangs and youth violence, available to you to help create positive change by shaping your resources to build sustained capacity for success.
A big part of our Mission is to help communities establish a Strategic Plan, and provide appropriate resources to deal with this crisis. And then spread the news about what measurable tactics that are working.
