Delaware State University and End Community Violence Now hosted an inaugural joint summit Oct. 14, allowing attendees to hear from experts in crime prevention and to share their thoughts. During one panel, leaders in the prevention of community violence, domestic violence and suicide provided insight into their field, then asked visitors to form small groups to identify shared priorities, to map short-term goals and to propose metrics to track progress.
