PA Peace Alliance Webinar: Becoming a Data-informed Organization – How to Collect and Use Data and Research
This is a recording of the November 2024 webinar.
How do you define success and collect data to show your impact? What are some strategies to collect information on public safety? Who do you go to for access to useful data on safety challenges in your community? Where do you go to keep current on what works in crime reduction? And how do you approach possible research partners to make sure they work for you, not the other way around? This webinar featured Trevor Fronius, PhD, of WestEd, Solomon Middleton-Williams, formerly with the Newark Community Street Team, and Matt Perkins of LISC. The conversation focused on sharing tools, tips, resources, and lessons learned to help you find and use data and research in your work, create systems for capturing the expertise of your neighbors and partners, and potentially enter into a research partnership that works best for your organization.
