The NYC Health Department provides program oversight and support to anti-violence programs in the City. The Cure Violence model is an evidence-based public health approach that seeks to stop the spread of violence by using the following methods and strategies associated with disease control:

• Detecting and interrupting conflicts
• Identifying and treating the highest risk individuals
• Changing social norms

Cure Violence in NYC is part of the City's Anti-Gun Violence Crisis Management System, which is an initiative to reduce gun violence in 17 city precincts.
