Custom Notifications: Individualized Communication in the Group Violence Intervention

Custom Notifications: Individualized Communication in the Group Violence Intervention (GVI) provides practical information about "custom notifications," an independent element of GVI that enables quick, tactical, direct communication to particular group members. Custom notifications articulate that group members are valued members of the community, give individualized information about their legal risk, and offer opportunities for help.  They effectively interrupt group "beefs," avoid retaliation after incidents, calm outbreaks of violence, and reinforce the GVI message.
