The two primary components of NNSC’s problem analysis includes the group audit and incident review. The group audit is a review of all active groups in a city or jurisdiction involved in serious violence. The incident review is an unpacking of each homicide and nonfatal shooting over a specified period.
Over the years, these problem analysis exercises have provided cities with valuable insight into local violence dynamics. Each problem analysis has also provided NNSC a better grasp of broader violence patterns. The purpose of this fact sheet is to highlight the broader violence patterns that NNSC has learned over a decade of problem analysis exercises.
