Cities are increasingly developing a public health approach to violence prevention. Precision data about where and when gun violence occurs can provide prompt interventions to people in need of services and support. With timely and accurate gunfire location data, community violence intervention groups and mental health professionals can more quickly stabilize youth and families in crisis to more effectively prevent future violence and other negative outcomes.
