CSVR has been involved in research on the CWP and its impact on violence and crime prevention since 2013.

Sites that are functioning better are also the sites that are likely to make the biggest contribution to community development, and to violence and crime prevention. In this policy brief we look at what distinguishes 'better sites' from other sites.
