Purpose:
In the summer of 2018, in response to an uptick in homicides in the District, Attorney General Karl Racine launched the Cure the Streets (CTS) pilot project in two sites of the District. The Program has since expanded to 10 sites. The Cure the Streets Initiative is based on the Cure Violence public health approach to violence reduction used in over 100 locations across the world. The Cure Violence model of violence reduction has been proven to reduce shootings and homicides in sites when implemented with fidelity to the model.
Cure the Streets is based on the Cure Violence Global model, which employs local, credible individuals who have deep ties to the neighborhood in which they work. These Violence Interrupters and Outreach Workers detect and resolve conflicts that are likely to lead to shootings and respond to shootings to prevent retaliation.
