Performance Measures: Community Public Health and Safety Networks
Open Publication PDF

Sharon Silas, Roxanne Lieb - April 1997

Community Public Health and Safety Networks were created out of the 1994 Violence Reduction Act.

Fifty-three  networks were established and required to submit comprehensive plans to the Family Policy Council. These plans highlighted at least three at-risk behaviors to be targeted for reduction.
