Finn Institute to partner with law enforcement on New York State’s Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) initiative

May 14, 2014 – Institute researchers will work with several upstate law enforcement agencies on their efforts to reduce gun violence.  The state has awarded 17 counties nearly $13.2 million in grants to reduce crime. The Institute will provide crime analysis support and/or serve as the research partner to 5 of these jurisdictions, including the Cities of Albany, Kingston, and Troy, and the Counties of Oneida and Onondaga. Sarah McLean, the Institute’s associate director, said “We are excited to continue partnerships that, in some cases, date back more than a decade and to expand relationships with newer partners. It is our honor to support a very worthwhile initiative.”
