This case was prosecuted as part of the South Bend Group Violence Intervention Program, a Project Safe Neighborhoods Initiative (PSN). The PSN Program is the centerpiece of the country’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
The PSN Program is a key component of the country’s efforts to reduce violent crime and make communities safer. By working together, law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and community leaders can develop effective strategies to address the root causes of violence and reduce crime in our communities.
