In an effort to find effective ways to reduce youth violence in Chicago, the University of Chicago Crime Lab will evaluate three promising programs, selected from more than 200 ideas submitted during its recent design competition.
The recipients of the funding, which will receive scientific evaluation from Crime Lab, are Children’s Home + Aid, a leading child and family services agency in Illinois; the David Lynch Foundation, an organization that teaches meditation to children and adults to heal traumatic stress in at-risk populations; and Sweet Water Foundation, a group that provides hands-on learning of urban agriculture practices for community development.
