Title | Authors | Year | Type of violence studied | Study setting | Hypothetical intervention(s) studied | Summary of findings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Reducing urban violence: a contrast of public health and criminal justice approaches | Cerdá, Tracy and Keyes | 2018 | Non-fatal, fatal victimization | New York City, NY (NYC) |
(a) Community-based violence intervention (b) Focused policing |
CBVI produced similar reductions at much lower cost; combining both interventions produced the largest reductions |
Limiting alcohol outlet density to prevent alcohol use and violence: estimating policy interventions through agent-based modeling | Castillo-Carniglia, Pear, Tracy, Keyes and Cerdá | 2018 | Non-fatal, fatal victimization | New York City, NY (NYC) | Limiting alcohol outlet density (universal and targeted to highest-risk areas) | Limiting outlet density did not reduce victimization under either the universal or targeted intervention scenario |
Assessing the impact of alcohol taxation on rates of violent victimization in a large urban area: an agent-based modeling approach | Keyes, Shev, Tracy and Cerdá | 2019 | Non-fatal, fatal victimization | New York City, NY (NYC) | Alcohol taxation (general and beer-specific) | Alcohol taxes reduced alcohol consumption and alcohol-related victimization. Reductions in violence disproportionately affected lowest-income individuals |
