Name: The Community Solution to Gang Violence
Like many communities throughout Canada and the United States, the
Greater Edmonton area is faced with the challenge of how to deal with
gangs and gang violence. In response to growing gang activity, the
Community Solution to Gang Violence (CSGV) , was formed. Comprised of a
diverse cross section of private citizens, community organizations and
all levels of government, CSGV is committed to work collaboratively on
a strategic, community-wide approach to address the issue of gangs and
gang violence and make the Edmonton and surrounding area free from gang
violence.

Title: Reducing Family Violence in Canadian Aboriginal Communities: Development of a Comprehensive Prevention Program
Summary: Family violence is a significant problem for the Canadian Aboriginal community. A number of published reports have focused on the treatment of male batterers, sheltering female victims and counseling their children. However, there are few existing program models that are sensitive to the context and experiences of Aboriginal families. A holistic and comprehensive approach is needed in order to meet their needs. Much can be learned from the experiences of policymakers, researchers and practitioners about the qualities of effective programs in general, and comprehensive family programs in particular. This environmental scan was based on a thorough review of the literature, the expertise of key informants and a national program survey.
