This is an anti-violence initiative that uses collaborative strategies to change the perception of the costs and benefits of gun violence. The goal is to reduce illegal gun crime among ex-offenders.
To this end, the program seeks to reduce the supply of firearms by identifying and intervening in illegal gun markets, as well as preventing the occurrence of gun violence.
A combination of efforts is undertaken to increase the perceived costs of illegal gun use and thereby change the behavior of offenders with a history of gun violence.
