Center for Community Safety and Resilience
The Center for Community Safety and Resilience (CCSR) at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs envisions thriving individuals and families in safe and supportive communities. CCSR advances that vision through research-based evidence and practice toward individual and community safety, resilience, and justice. CCSR is dedicated to effective programs, practitioner and community education, and public policy advocacy and analysis.
CCSR broadens and deepens work on interpersonal violence to advance social justice, increase public safety, eliminate individual and societal violence, and strengthen community resilience. We:
- Bring diverse, intersectional, and intersectoral issues front, center, and woven throughout.
- Focus on social determinants of health and community determinants of violence.
- Examine individual and community resiliency to violence, trauma, and crisis.
