This conference will provide, for the first time, a national forum on the gang violence reduction and drug market elimination strategies developed by David Kennedy and implemented in many jurisdictions around the country - including Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, High Point, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Providence, and Seattle. These jurisdictions have joined forces as the National Network for Safe Communities to chart a course for a new national crime policy.

Key Themes Include:

• Implications of the Gang Violence and Drug Market Strategies for US Crime Policy
• Racial Reconciliation and Engaging Communities' Moral Voice
• Institutionalization and Sustainability of Crime Reduction Efforts
• Best Practices in Project Management and Oversight
• Current Innovations and Key Research Questions
