Abstract

Abstract Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is an ongoing national program, implemented by U.S. Attorney’s Offices and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, to address gun and gang violence in local jurisdictions within all 94 federal districts in the United States. While dozens of studies have evaluated the local effects of PSN programs, a comprehensive review of PSN literature is missing; this article addresses that gap. The current study conducts a systematic review of empirical studies of PSN programs from 2001 to 2021 across nine major academic databases and five websites. Twenty-one evaluations were retained for a detailed review and categorized based on Maryland Scientific Methods Scale values. PSN initiatives produce overall favorable results in reducing violence in the short-term, though long-term impacts are rarely explored. PSN had an indicated positive effect on 91.9% of the examined outcomes, 54.5% of which attained statistical significance. Task force members state that likelihood of PSN success improves when working groups remain consistent in personnel, communicate regularly, and achieve buy-in from all involved parties. Future research should report effect sizes when appropriate, evaluate PSN programs absent in other high-populated areas, and employ more rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental designs so a meta-analysis can be conducted.

安全社区项目效果的系统评价
安全社区项目(PSN)是一项正在进行的国家计划,由美国检察官办公室实施,由美国司法部资助,旨在解决美国所有94个联邦地区的地方司法管辖区的枪支和帮派暴力问题。虽然已有数十项研究评估了PSN计划的局部效果,但缺乏对PSN文献的全面回顾;本文解决了这一差距。本研究对2001年至2021年9个主要学术数据库和5个网站的PSN项目实证研究进行了系统回顾。21项评估被保留下来进行详细的审查,并根据马里兰科学方法量表的值进行分类。PSN举措在短期内减少暴力方面产生了总体有利的结果,尽管很少探讨长期影响。PSN对91.9%的检查结果有积极作用,其中54.5%达到统计学意义。工作组成员表示,当工作组在人员方面保持一致,定期沟通,并获得所有相关方的支持时,PSN成功的可能性就会提高。未来的研究应在适当的时候报告效应大小,评估其他人口稠密地区缺乏的PSN计划,并采用更严格的实验和准实验设计,以便进行荟萃分析。
