Non-Carceral Solutions to Gun Violence: A Focus on Community Violence Intervention
UCLA Law's Criminal Justice Law Review, Criminal Justice Program, and The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence hosted the 2022 Symposium entitled "Guns Everywhere: Individual Rights and Communal Harms after NYSRPA v. Bruen" on October 20-21, 2022. This is the first panel of the Symposium which occurred on October 20 at UCLA School of Law. The panelists are practitioners and researchers of community violence interruption programs who are fighting on the front lines to combat gun violence in the country’s most hard-hit communities. Discussion includes non-carceral solutions to gun violence, how the law can better be used to serve communities and keep them safe, the promise and impediments of current laws, the legal obstacles to community-based violence interruption, and the ongoing and future legislative battles that will allow for an increase in both violence prevention and interruption. Moderator Paul Carrillo is the Founder of Southern California Crossroads, and the panelists are Claudia Bracho, Peace Fellow at the Urban Peace Institute; Talib Hudson, the Director of Research and Innovation at the National Network for Safer Communities; and Ben Owens, Safety Fellow and Instructor at the Urban Peace Institute.
