HFG At The Crossroads Forum The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation held At the Crossroads, a forum which examined the rise in gun violence in New York and other cities, on Tuesday, March 29, 2022. ATC Report | ATC Series Directed by HFG’s Distinguished Fellow of Practice Greg Berman, the forum is an extension of the At the Crossroads (ATC) editorial series which examined the disturbing phenomenon of violence in New York and other U.S. cities in recent months. The series has fostered public conversation in the last year through in-depth interviews with twelve leading researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and advocates who have studied and considered the problem from numerous angles. The March 29 forum was an in-person and virtual gathering bringing together ATC interviewees and others to discuss the causes of gun violence, what has worked to curb it, and where additional research is needed to understand the problem. Panel One: “What’s Happening?” Over the past two years, gun violence has increased precipitously in many American cities. This panel posed a series of questions about this phenomenon: What’s gone wrong? What are the underlying forces, both long-term and short-term, that have led to the historic increases in violence? And how big a problem do we have exactly? Is the health and vitality of New York and other American cities in peril or is this just a temporary blip? Peter Moskos, Professor of Law, John Jay University of Criminal JusticeMarlon Peterson, Writer, Activist, Host, Decarcerated PodcastElizabeth Glazer, Founder, Vital CityAaron Chalfin, Assistant Professor of Criminology, University of PennsylvaniaGreg Berman (Moderator), Distinguished Fellow of Practice, Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation; Co-Editor, Vital City Panel Two: “What Works and What We Don’t Know” In figuring out how to address violence, we are not starting from scratch — a range of interventions, some grounded in law enforcement and others rooted in community-based crime prevention — have shown encouraging results over the years. At the same time criminal justice research has come a long way from the days when people thought that “nothing works” to reduce crime or change behavior. Still, significant gaps in our knowledge remain. What do we know about what works? Where should researchers be focusing their energies in the days to come if the goal is to advance knowledge about reducing violence?

Richardson Jr., Joel and Kim Feller Endowed Professor of African-American Studies and Anthropology, University of MarylandCaterina Roman, Professor of Criminal Justice, Temple UniversityJeffrey Butts, Director of the Research & Evaluation Center, John Jay College of Criminal JusticeGreg Berman (Moderator), Distinguished Fellow of Practice, Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation; Co-Editor, Vital City In conjunction with the forum, the Foundation published the interview series as a print anthology and report.
At the Crossroads 2021: New York City is at a crossroads moment. After decades of decline in violent crime in New York City, recent years have seen a significant increase in homicides and shootings. The New York Police Department reported that murders in the city rose to 462 in 2020—a 45-percent increase from 2019. The city recorded 1,531 shootings in 2020—a 97-percent increase from the prior year. Is this the beginning of a trend that will lead us back to the “bad old days”? Is it just a COVID-related statistical blip that will soon be forgotten? At the Crossroads, 2021-2022, a year-long series by criminal justice expert and HFG Distinguished Fellow of Practice Greg Berman, examined these questions to foster a public conversation about community violence in New York and other cities through in-depth interviews with leading researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and advocates. Read More In the 1970s and 1980s, New York City was an international symbol of chaos and disorder, with many observers concluding that the city had become “ungovernable.” That all changed in the early 1990s. Violent crime in New York City plummeted, with the number of murders reduced by close to 90 percent from its high of more than 2,200 in 1990. By the second decade of this millenium, it had never been safer to live, work, or visit New York City. Of course, no one is throwing ticker-tape parades for the criminal justice system at the moment. Recent years have been dominated by Black Lives Matter protests, which shined a spotlight on the enduring legacies of racism in the American justice system. These protests have added fuel to a number of local political movements—to close Rikers Island, to halt the building of new jails, and to defund the police. These developments serve as backdrop for a disconcerting increase in the number of shootings in New York City. What is driving this trend, and what can be done to halt or reverse it? Mr. Berman will explore these questions through this HFG series examining community violence in New York City and other metropolitan areas. The Foundation published the interview series as a print anthology and held the At the Crossroads Forum in March 2022.

She was the first African American commander in the Denver Police Department, Denver’s first female police captain, the first deputy commissioner for equity and inclusion in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and cofounder of the Center for Policing Equity, an organization dedicated to reducing racial disparities and promoting cultural change within American police departments. She spoke with Greg Berman, the Distinguished Fellow of Practice at The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, about race and policing. “You are now hearing some of the same conversations that happened in the ‘90s, that we are going to need more officers to get spiking crime under control. I think we need to be very careful about this.” – Tracie Keesee Read Full Interview01/20/2022“You Have to Crack Down on Gun Offenders”: A Conversation with Peter MoskosPeter Moskos, a criminologist and John Jay College professor, is an expert on community policing. His book Cop in the Hood, recounts his experience and insights working as a police officer in Baltimore, Maryland. He hosts the podcast Quality Policing and curates the Violence Reduction Project, highlighting strategies for reducing neighborhood violence. In his interview with HFG’s Greg Berman, Moskos discusses community policing in the Black Lives Matter era, the impact of bail reform and police-led crime prevention efforts including ‘broken windows’ policing in New York City. “Is American policing a bad concept that we’re doing our best with, or is it a good concept with flaws?.” – Peter Moskos Read Full Interview12/16/2021“We Need to Value Black Lives in the Same Way That We Value Others”: A Conversation with Kami ChavisKami Chavis is the director of the Criminal Justice Program at Wake Forest University School of Law. A former federal prosecutor, Chavis has spent the bulk of her academic career focusing on issues of police accountability and racial justice. In her interview with HFG’s Greg Berman, Chavis talks about issues of police reform and the relationship between police violence and the recent increase in shootings in many American cities. “When you have the type of police misconduct that we’ve seen, it delegitimizes our entire criminal justice system. And so you won’t have the community partners that you need in order to prevent and address the violence that’s happening.” – Kami Chavis Read Full Interview11/23/2021“Violence Is Contagious”: A Conversation with Andrew PapachristosAndrew Papachristos is a professor of Sociology at Northwestern University. He has been able to show that a relatively small number of individuals are involved in gun violence within any given community—and that these people tend to be connected to one another by a web of relationships. In his interview with HFG’s Greg Berman, Papachristos talks about his research into neighborhood violence and about the challenges faced by academics who choose to venture beyond the academy. “Especially in the current political moment, we’re often pitting the need to address structural problems against the need to intervene in the here-and-now. The truth is that we have to do both.” – Andrew Papachristos Read Full Interview10/21/2021“Why Do People of Color Have to Go to Extremes to Save their Kids?” A Conversation with Joseph RichardsonJoseph Richardson, a professor of African-American Studies and Anthropology at the University of Maryland whose research helped to inform the creation of the Capital Region Violence Intervention Program, a hospital-based program that provides trauma-informed care and psychological services to survivors of violent injury in an effort to prevent further violence and victimization. He spoke with HFG Distinguished Fellow of Practice, Greg Berman, about his work as a scholar-activist, his take on the recent rise in shootings in American cities, and the relationship between structural violence and interpersonal violence. “Scholarship should be informing policy or informing programming or changing the narrative with the public.” – Joseph Richardson Read Full Interview09/21/2021“We Have a Lot of Damage to Undo”: A Conversation with Jeremy TravisJeremy Travis has been involved in almost every significant effort to address crime and violence in the United States during the past 50 years. He tackled a range of crime and violence reform issues through his work with the Vera Institute, the New York Police Department, the U.S. Department of Justice, and John Jay College at the City University of New York where he served as president from 2004 to 2016. Travis is now the executive vice president for criminal justice at Arnold Ventures where he oversees a portfolio of grants that seek to improve racial justice. In this interview with Greg Berman, Travis reflects on his career and the current “once-in-a-half-century” movement to reform the criminal justice system in the United States. “We’ve gone so far off course. We are now in a period of fundamental course correction where we have to recognize the harm that we’ve done and undo many of the policies that have promoted this era of punitive excess.” — Jeremy Travis Read Full Interview08/18/2021“Evidence Doesn’t Seem to Play a Key Role”: A Conversation with David WeisburdDavid Weisburd, the criminologist who led definitive research on “hot spots” policing in the 1990s, says that police should continue to focus their efforts on the places where crime is most concentrated using tactics that will not harm the residents of those areas. In a wide-ranging conversation with HFG’s Greg Berman, Dr. Weisburd discusses his research and developments in the field amid calls for law enforcement reform in the Black Lives Matter era. “There is a lot of talk about changing policing, but there is often little investment in programs that go beyond traditional enforcement efforts.” - David WeisburdRead Full Interview07/16/2021“You Can Reduce Violence But Harm People”: A Conversation with Caterina RomanCaterina Roman, a professor of criminal justice at Temple University, says we need to be concerned about the spike in homicides seen in New York City and other cities over the past year. In her interview with HFG Distinguished Fellow of Practice Greg Berman, Roman calls for more research into violence prevention programs, including “focused deterrence” policing strategies. “It would be great if policymakers and politicians would ... say, ‘We are optimistic that we can make longer term change, and we're going to do it by investing in neighborhood infrastructure. We're going to do this, we're going to tell you where the money's going, and we're going to measure the incremental change over time.’” - Caterina RomanRead Full Interview06/10/2021“True Equity Means Everyone’s Life Has Equal Value”: A Conversation with Shani BuggsDr. Shani Buggs, a national expert on gun violence, is assistant professor with the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis.

The former prosecutor spoke with HFG’s Distinguished Fellow of Practice Greg Berman about the current spike in violence in New York City and the need for more research into the trend. “I'm concerned about whether this de-emphasis on accountability has signaled that we're taking our foot off the gas on violent crime.

Dr. Butts discusses the analysis of administrative data to understand patterns of violence and what violence interventions work to reduce violence. He says we need to look beyond law enforcement tactics to prevent violence. “Anyone who thinks that the way to improve public safety is to invest in law enforcement is just pushing us further down the path toward a police state, where the only public safety we have is purchased and maintained through force and coercion.” - Jeffrey ButtsRead Full Interview

HFG Journalism Fellowships and Awards SAN FRANCISCO – SEPTEMBER 20: Freshly printed copies of the San Francisco Chronicle roll off the printing press at one of the Chronicle’s printing facilities September 20, 2007 in San Francisco, California. Newspaper sales in the U.S. continue to slide as people turn to the internet and television for their news. The Chronicle saw its circulation plunge more than 15 percent in 2006 to 398,000 during the week which has hurt newspaper vendor Rick Gaub’s business. Unable to sell as many papers as he used to, Gaub is looking for a new way to earn money after selling papers for 42 years. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) As a research organization dedicated to understanding violence in all forms, the Foundation recognizes the importance of accurate, in-depth reporting on crime and violence. The Foundation supports the work of journalists through its annual journalism fellowships and awards for excellence in reporting administered by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The Crime Report. HFG Justice Reporting Fellows at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Each year, the Foundation awards 20-30 fellowships to reporters, broadcasters, editors, and writers covering crime and violence in the U.S. so they can attend the annual Harry Frank Guggenheim Symposium on Crime in America. Fellows participating in the two-day winter symposium have an opportunity to speak with leading national and state criminal justice researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to better understand the dynamics of crime, violence, and the U.S. justice system. Fellows are selected by the Center on Media, Crime and Justice at John Jay College of Criminal Justice based in part on their work in progress or proposed projects that will benefit from participation in the symposium. HFG Awards for Excellence in Criminal Justice Reporting at John Jay College Each year the Foundation honors a reporter or team of reporters who have made an extraordinary contribution to public awareness of crime and justice issues. The prizes for Excellence in Criminal Justice Reporting, administered by John Jay’s Center on Media, Crime and Justice, recognize the previous year’s best print, online, or broadcast justice reporting by a U.S.-based media outlet. The 2023 award for best series went to “Broken Doors,” a six-part, investigative podcast from the Washington Post hosted by Jenn Abelson and Nicole Dungca. The series examined the deployment of no-knock warrants in the American criminal legal system and explored the ramifications of flawed accountability at every level. The award for the single-story category went to “The Mother Trap” and the companion video by Mother Jones magazine, reported and written by Samantha Michaels. Detailed information on the award-winning work and a listing of those named runner-ups in the single and series categories can be found here. Past Awards: The 2022 award for best series went to Jim Mustian and Jake Bleiberg of the Associated Press for their series, “Beatings, Buried Videos and Cover-Ups at the Louisiana State Police,” which revealed a pattern of violence against mostly Black motorists.

HFG Pembroke College Research Fellow The Harry Frank Guggenheim Research Fellowship at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, was established in 2011 to support post-doctoral research proposing to make a significant contribution to the study of violence. Selected by Pembroke College, the three-year award focuses on the causes, manifestations, and control of violence in the present world. Priority is given to candidates who make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for policies intended to reduce these ills. Candidates are drawn from the disciplines of human, political, and social sciences, international relations, and related fields. During their tenure, the fellow is resident at, and admitted as a fellow of, Pembroke College The fellowship provides an opportunity to organize a conference at Cambridge to explore an aspect of the fellow’s research that is pertinent to both scholarship and practice and to write and speak on their work in coordination with the Foundation.Sophia Goodfriend is the Foundation’s 2025-2028 Pembroke Fellow. She is researching the impact of big data and machine learning on military conflict in the Middle East. Past HFG Pembroke Fellows 2021–2024 Surer Mohamed, a Ph.D. student in politics and international studies at Queens’ College Cambridge, studied post-conflict urban reconstruction and conflict-related property disputes in Mogadishu, Somalia. 2017–2020 Nicki Kindersley, a senior lecturer in African history at Cardiff University, examined political education and organization in migrant communities, militarized labor markets, and violent political economies in South Sudan and Horn of Africa borderlands.2011–2013 Joanna Bellis, a fellow in English at Christ’s College Cambridge, studied representations of violence in medieval and early modern literature.

HFG African Fellows The Harry Frank Guggenheim African Fellow Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Young African Scholars) recognize emerging African scholars studying aspects of violence on or directly related to the African continent. Every two years, the Foundation selects a cohort of Harry Frank Guggenheim African Fellows. Approximately a dozen emerging scholars are recognized for projects judged to be of high quality and closely relevant to the Foundation’s interest in violence. The Foundation welcomes proposals for the African Fellow Awards from any of the social and natural sciences or allied disciplines that promise to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and control of violence and aggression. Highest priority is given to research that can increase understanding and amelioration of urgent problems of violence and aggression in the modern world. The proposed project must relate directly to the African continent. The Foundation is interested in violence related to many subjects, including, but not limited to, the following: War Crime Terrorism Family and intimate-partner relationships Climate instability and natural resource competition Racial, ethnic, and religious conflict Political extremism and nationalism The Foundation supports research that investigates the basic mechanisms in the production of violence, but primacy is given to proposals that make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for policies intended to reduce these ills. Likewise, historical research is considered to the extent that it is relevant to a current situation of violence. Examinations of the effects of violence are appropriate for a proposal only if a strong case can be made that these outcomes serve, in turn, as causes of future violence. The African Fellow Awards Fellowships are offered to individual scholars for a period of two years. The African Fellow Awards include an in-person methods workshop on the African continent, fieldwork research grants of $10,000 each, mentoring from senior African and Africanist scholars, sponsorship at an international conference to present research findings, and editorial and publication assistance through a writing workshop geared to support and prepare scholars to write for and submit to international peer-reviewed journals and other outlets for their research. Timing Candidates for the African Fellow Awards may apply online annually between December 1 and March 1. Final decisions are made by the Board of Directors. Applicants will be informed promptly by email of the Board’s decision. The program begins with a research proposal workshop held on the African continent. Eligibility Applicants for the fellowship may be citizens of any country. They must be aged 45 or younger, currently enrolled in an accredited Ph.D. program at an African higher-education institution, and living on the continent.
