Summary

"The staggering rate of gun violence and the media’s copious coverage of violent crime have fostered public perception of violent crime as the nation’s most serious problem and inspired widespread anger and frustration which have drawn the attention of our political leaders. In May 2001, President George W. Bush responded to public concern by announcing that his administration was launching “Project Safe Neighborhoods” to provide a comprehensive strategy for combating gun violence in America. ... One of the building blocks of the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative was Project Exile’s success in reducing gun violence within Richmond, Virginia. ... Facilitating the spread of Exile-type initiatives was a critical component of the nationwide commitment to reducing gun crime through Project Safe Neighborhoods."--Introduction.
