Supporting a Safer Community in Richmond

/analyses/2020/12/supporting-a-safer-community-in-richmond

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), provided CNA with funding to develop case studies on the organizational impacts of HSGs in an effort to produce a field guide documenting promising practices. CNA will conduct case studies of two agencies already benefiting from HSGs: Richmond, Virginia, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Each case study report will explain how the HSG program started as well as examining program operations and achievements and documenting lessons learned. These reports from two exemplary programs will form the basis for Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups, a field guide to support law enforcement agencies in developing a strategic approach to implementing a successful HSG program in their communities. Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups will likely be available for release in the spring or summer of 2021.
