The Violence Intervention Program (VIP) significantly reduced repeat violent criminal activity and convictions among high-risk patients. This hospital-based intervention shows promise for preventing future violence and incarceration.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Hospital-based violence prevention programs are increasingly common but lack rigorous effectiveness evaluations.
  • The Violence Intervention Program (VIP) aimed to assess intervention effectiveness for repeat victims of violence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-based intervention for repeat victims of violence.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective randomized control study was conducted with patients admitted for violent injuries between 1999-2001.
  • Participants on parole/probation were randomized into an intervention group (intensive psychosocial services, therapy, substance abuse treatment) or a control group (standard care).

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • No significant difference in the total number of arrests between groups.
  • The intervention group showed significantly less violent criminal activity, fewer convictions (any crime and violent crime), and shorter projected incarceration times.
  • Repeat violent criminal activity was significantly more prevalent in the control group.

    • Conclusions:

    • The VIP intervention demonstrated significant positive impacts on reducing the quantity and severity of criminal activity among repeat victims of violence.
    • Hospital-based violence intervention programs can be effective in mitigating recidivism.
