Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence

The Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence, of the Bloomberg School of Public Health, brings together academic institutions, city and state agencies and organizations, community groups, schools, youth groups, and faith organizations to collaborate on both positive youth development and the prevention of violence. By integrating research findings with education and training, professional development, and practice efforts, the Center provides the infrastructure that facilitates academic-community collaborations, thus translating research into improved professional practice.
