Problem Solving & The SARA Model
This resource is part of a knowledge-sharing series for the Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative (RVCRI) led by LISC Safety & Justice, National Policing Institute, and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). RVCRI provides resources to small, rural, and tribal jurisdictions seeking to address specific crime concerns. RVCRI funded sites utilize a multi-disciplinary team to identify and prioritize specific crime challenges along with specific places and/or populations to direct grant resources.
Overview
This webinar will introduce the basic concepts of problem-solving methodologies, with an emphasis on the SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment) Model. Through this session, participants will learn how this problem-solving model can help guide implementation of their RVCRI projects. Participants will also learn how the SARA model can support projects by providing a framework for ongoing data collection, analysis, strategy refinement and assessment of implementation activities.
