Article Abstract
This is the protocol for a Campbell Collaboration systematic review. Our objective is to synthesize what is known about the effectiveness of strategies for reducing community violence, focusing on those strategies that have been subjected to a systematic review. We aim to answer the following questions in this review: what strategies to reduce community violence have been rigorously evaluated through systematic reviews; which have sufficient evidence of effectiveness, which seem promising, and which appear ineffective; and what implications for practice and policy can be drawn from this large body of research? We anticipate categorizing the results of our review similarly to the original review by Abt and Winship (2016). That is, categorizing reviews by people-based approaches, place-based approaches, and behavior-based approaches. However, given that this is an updated review and we will be incorporating additional studies, we may find that an alternative or additional categorization is warranted and update our categorization accordingly. Implications for policy and practice as they relate to these categories will be discussed.

Risk assessments performed in the context of community supervision provide a unique opportunity to identify characteristics associated with high-risk domestic violence (DV) offenders. To date, however, few studies have used such data to explore the factors that differentiate offenders who have engaged in nonfatal strangulation (NFS) to other less severe forms of DV. Using data from the Wisconsin Risk Need assessment, the present study compares risk and need factors for offenders sentenced to probation for an offense involving NFS to a misdemeanor DV offense ( = 909).

This article explores the multifaceted challenges and potential strategies for addressing corrective rape in South African townships. Corrective rape, a violent form of gender-based violence primarily targeting lesbian women, is entrenched in patriarchal norms, homophobia, and racialized backlash that complicate anti-rape advocacy. Through a critical review of existing literature, this study highlights how these intersecting forces hinder progress while also identifying opportunities for intervention.
