Since its founding in June 1995, the Center for Violence Research and Prevention has conducted and disseminated research on the causes and control of interpersonal violence. Through a diversified program of both basic and applied research, the Center's staff and associates work closely with, and are a resource to, researchers, clinicians, public and private agencies, and community organizations whose work addresses pressing violence problems.

This year, the Center continues to work in partnerships with public health, criminal justice agencies, and community support groups whose work is aligned with the Center's mission. In these partnerships, we conduct research and design programs to address the places and populations at risk for violence.
