Revitalization as a Sustainability Strategy
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.
