In 2004, Mayor
Bloomberg launched the Impact
School Initiative to reduce school
violence and disorder and create safer learning environments. Since
then, CJC has worked with both the NYPD and the Department of Education to
identify schools with the highest concentrations of violent and serious offenses
and to implement strategies designed to reduce crime in schools. The
efforts have led to a drop in violent crime in New York City schools of
42% and a drop of major crime in New York City school of 34% between
the 2003-04 and 2009-10 school years.
