HFG Symposium on Crime in America
The Foundation sponsors an annual two-day symposium at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The event brings together leading researchers and policymakers with journalists to deepen public understanding of the most relevant crime and violence issues in the United States.
On Oct. 3-4, 2023, John Jay College will host The 18th Annual Harry Frank Guggenheim Symposium on Crime in America, “Reporting on Gun Violence: Engaging the Public on the Issues.”
The symposium will offer a series of discussions with experts, public officials, and journalists exploring gun violence, a critical public safety and public health issue affecting communities across the United States.
Panels will address how various policies, programs, politics, and historical dynamics impact gun violence, from police departments to legislators to local communities.
This virtual event is open to the public.
