Dr. Stacy Sechrist (NC Network for Safe Communities) received new funding from the North Carolina Gang Investigators Association for the project “Research Partners: 2018 PSN Eastern District of NC.” Dr. John Weil is co-principal investigator on the project.
North Carolina Network for Safe Communities (NCNSC) will serve as the research and evaluation partner for the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of North Carolina for an incoming Project Safe Neighborhoods grant funding from the US Department of Justice. NCNSC will assist participating PSN sites with data collection, analysis, and reporting to inform data-driven recommendations for PSN implementation to reduce violent firearm-related and gang-related crime. Data will advise operational strategies and ensure success of the strategy in reducing violent crime.
