Is there a connection between dumping and violence? We worked with communities experiencing high rates of illegal dumping and violence. We found that places that have repeated dumping, such as unmaintained vacant lots, have higher rates of violent crime. ow.ly/MsLW50PTyLE

We attended The Exchange, hosted by @umichsph and #UMIFIP! We heard from leaders in the violence prevention field and shared our work on preventing firearm violence. Together, we can find solutions to the epidemic of firearm violence and create safer communities for all.

Youth are disproportionately affected by gun violence, yet few people ask them to identify root causes. We asked youth in the @TheTRIGGERProj what causes gun violence in D.C. Special thanks to Tia Bell for asking this research question. 🔗Full findings: ow.ly/YejE50Ql9KP

Illegal dumping is a growing problem and environmental justice issue across the United States that particularly affects communities with elevated property vacancy. Links between blight and violence suggest that preventing illegal dumping may help prevent community violence.

We’re excited to launch a CDC-funded study exploring illegal dumping prevention as a strategy for preventing violence. This study will test the effects of simple environmental design interventions on illegal dumping activity and violent crime in Flint, MI. ow.ly/iy3q50O1rxE
