The Space Between_Bridging Evidence to Impact for Effective Violence Prevention

With evidence-based insights, guidance on effective strategies, and honest reflection on the state of violence prevention, it supports and challenges researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to close the distance between evidence and action—one decision, one community, one intervention at a time.
