The Gang Reduction Initiative of Denver (GRID) project aims to achieve several goals: Reduce recidivism rates for target population, reduce violent gang crime in targeted neighborhoods, positive behavior change in target population, and increase the coordination and capacity of the local partners to reduce the impact of gangs. Crime rates and gang motivated crime rates will be collected quarterly; individual and community surveys will gauge community collaboration, communication, and knowledge gained. Five core strategies, Community Mobilization, Organizational Change, Social Intervention, Opportunities Provision and Suppression, provide the foundational principles of the Denver model.
