This workshop from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine brought together researchers, practitioners, leaders, and others with expertise in violence prevention and promoting community safety to (1) define community safety, (2) examine the landscape of threats to safety affecting specific populations, (3) explore attributes of physical spaces and social structures that create and reinforce safer communities, and (4) discuss frameworks for reimagining public safety, and related policy and programmatic interventions. Research Core Director Terry Richmond provides welcoming remarks, moderates the first session, and offers reflections on the first day. Community Action Board member Tyrique Glasgow is a speaker in day 2 (“Regaining Safety in Public Spaces”). The series of 7 videos can be viewed here: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/41148_12-2023_community-safety-as-a-social-determinant-of-health-a-workshop.
