ABSTRACT
An initial stage in the research on the implementation and impact of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) consisted of a series of case studies of specific PSN district programs. These site-specific case studies were intended to provide information about how PSN was structured and implemented in different jurisdictions. PSN was developed as a national program tailored to address varying gun crime patterns in local jurisdictions. One of the key roles of the research partner was to analyze these patterns to help inform the local PSN task force. This local nature of PSN also made it important to examine implementation and impact at the local level. Consequently, a series of site-specific cases studies addressed these issues.
