Center
for the Study and Prevention of Violence
Violence in America has reached epidemic proportions. Today, all
Americans are touched directly or indirectly by violent acts. In
response, the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV)
was founded in 1992 with a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of
New York to provide informed assistance to groups committed to understanding
and preventing violence, particularly adolescent violence. Since
that time, our mission has expanded to encompass violence across
the life course.
In an effort to establish more complete
and valuable information to impact violence-related policies, programs,
and practices, CSPV works from a multi-disciplinary platform on
the subject of violence and facilitates the building of bridges
between the research community and the practitioners and policy
makers. CSPV has a threefold mission. First, the Information House
serves to collect research literature and resources on the causes
and prevention of violence and provides direct information services
to the public by offering topical searches on customized databases.
Second, CSPV offers technical assistance for the evaluation and
development of violence prevention programs.
Third, CSPV maintains a basic research
component through data analysis and other projects on the causes
of violence and the effectiveness of prevention and intervention
programs.
Colorado
School Mediation Project
The Colorado School Mediation Project (CSMP), founded in 1987, is
a regional nonprofit organization with national connections which
is dedicated to creating safe, caring and just communities where
conflicts are resolved productively and differences are valued.
We believe that for school communities
to be effective, they need:
to work collaboratively;
to emphasize building social and emotional
skills; to teach and model skills for
living in a democracy; to see conflict
as a key part of growth and learning; and to realize that the
free expression of ideas in a productive, respectful environment
is a critical preventive element for many social problems.
CSMP works with educators, administrators,
youth organizations and school communities to design, implement
and evaluate a conflict resolution education program for their site.
CSMP has worked with over 12,500 students
and 5000 educators through our workshops, trainings and conferences.
Conflict
Research Consortium
The Conflict Research Consortium is a multidisciplinary program
of research, teaching, and application, focused on finding more
constructive ways of addressing difficult, long-term, and intractable
conflicts, and getting that information to the people involved in
these conflicts so that they can approach them in a more constructive
way. A joint university-community program, the Consortium unites
researchers, educators, and practitioners from many fields for the
purposes of theory-building, testing, disseminating, and applying
new conflict management techniques. These efforts are designed to
lead to an improved understanding of conflict dynamics, along with
better methods for confronting and managing intractable conflicts
and reaching good decisions.
