CeaseFire Chicago
CeaseFire launched in West Garfield Park, one of the most violent communities in Chicago in 2000 and was quick to produce results reducing shootings by 67% in its first year. CeaseFire’s results have since been replicated more than 18 times in Chicago and throughout Illinois and has now been shown effective by an extensive, U.S. Department of Justice funded, independent three-year evaluation. This evaluation demonstrated CeaseFire’s success in reducing shootings and killings. The Model has been replicated more than a dozen times nationally and has two international sites in Iraq.
