McCampbell Judy Patterson Arva Rice Gary Yates ii Forevvord Building safer, less violent communities continues to be a major challenge for our country. Vio lence stems from many causes, and no single part of our society, including law enforcement, can tackle the problem alone. If we are to make real progress in containing the epidemic of violence, we must put together broad, coordinated strategies involving communities, the private sector, and State and local governments, as well as the Federal Government. Designed in support of the Pulling America's Communities Together (PACf) Project, partner ships Against Violence is a new initiative that reflects the level of Federal cooperation and commitment we need to shape a safer future. Through an unprecedented coalition at the Fed erallevel, the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Labor have joined forces in an effort to facilitate the deveiop ment of comprehensive approaches to solving one of our Nation's toughest problems. The goal of Partnerships Against Violence is to integrate information concerning the wide range of ideas and resources currently available and remove the barriers to information-sharing that communities face in finding out about good programs that are working against violence and for families and children. One component of the Partnership is this Resource Guide, which represents the first step in building a central repository that includes promising anti-violence programs. The Resource Guide draws on information stored in more than 30 Federal clearinghouses and resource cen ters. Included in this document are programs developed by government agencies, private foun dations, religious and fraternal associations, and highly motivated citizens and community 0rganizations. Comprehensive and easy to use, the Resource Guide is in two volumes: • Volume 1 presents about 600 specific programs that now operate throughout the country. The scope of these efforts is wide-ranging from parent education and preschool programs to interventions for high-risk adolescents and alternative sanctions for youthful offenders. High lighted throughout the document are the key details you need to know about each program: project type, target population and setting, and contact persons who can answer your specific questions. Information about evaluation (does the program work?) and budgets, where avail able, is also included in the Resource Guide. To help you find the information you need quickly and easily, the Resource Guide is indexed in several ways: alphabetical order, geographical location, key subject area, and funding source. Related programs are cross-referenced throughout the document. .. Volume 2 presents a list of sources for technical assistance, information, and potential fund ing to support anti-violence programs. This premiere edition of the Resource Guide is only the first step in our Partnerships Against Violence initiative. Programs included here as well as others are available online on the Internet through PAVNET (Partnerships Against Violence Network). iii PAVNET Online enables you to find what you need with a few keystrokes on a computer. How can you access this network? Many communities are providing computer access to the Internet in libraries, law enforcement agencies, and Agricultural Extension offices.
