THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL: IDENTIFICATION & DETECTION • Identify and detect -potential shooting events -Individuals & groups at highest risk of involvement in a shooting or killing • Use all sources & possible points of entry: -Notice from law enforcement -Hospitals -Schools –Calls from the Community
