‘The issue of conceptualizing complex interventions is made more difficult still by the fact that we rarely find an intervention that can adequately be described as a single system. More often there are systems nested within systems.’ Source: (Ling et al., 2012)

BASELINE : Identification

Cure Violence works directly with gangs to prevent killings. It uses a three-prong approach:

• 1. Baseline: Who is at risk from gang-related killings?
• 2. Interruption and Outreach: How can we work with those

at risk?

• 3. Changing: For a lasting change, the whole community

can make a contribution

BASELINE : Measurement tool of types of CHANGE

The baseline report includes mapping and statistics for the data driven approach (quantity data). However stories and public perceptions (quality data) based on interviews plus focus group workshops related to violence in Hanover Park have been recorded as well. Both data serve as a benchmark to the implementation of Cure Violence in order to measure the impact and quality of life after the first, second and third year of implementation. Through regular monitoring and evaluation the project can be reviewed and improved.

CHANGE

Gang leaders and gang members are going to need community support while they change how gang conflicts are

• resolved. Cure Violence calls on every

community member to help by:

• Encourage gang members you know

to take part

• Be respectful of gang leaders and

members who are willing to give up violence

• Take part in public events to celebrate

less violence and mourn every injury

• r death
• Encourage gang members to make

changes and make opportunities available to them

• Assist in recording the number of

days since the last shooting of an individual
