The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) recently funded Development Services Group, Inc., to evaluate a promising nationwide U.S. Department of Justice–funded program to combat hate, “Not in Our Town.” DSG nonprofit partner, the Institute for Community Studies (ICS), will carry out the work, under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen V. Gies, DSG’s—and ICS’s—director of research and evaluation. The three-year study will begin on Jan. 1, 2024. Not in Our Town (NIOT) was developed in response to the 2018 mass shooting at Pittsburgh. Pa.’s Tree of Life Synagogue. ICS is evaluating the NIOT Hate and Bias Action Teams candidate model. NIOT uses film and other media to educate, raise awareness, and spark dialog, with the goal of helping diverse community groups expand the impact of their mutual engagement. Notably, the NIOT evaluation marks the nation’s first scientifically reviewed anti-hate initiative. Introduce yourself to NIOT’s work by viewing Repairing the World: Stories From the Tree of Life, a documentary about Pittsburgh's community response to hate in the aftermath of the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history: https://lnkd.in/gwSDV_4a The Zimmerman Foundation is co-funding DSG’s mixed-methods evaluability assessment of Not in Our Town through a grant to the Institute for Community Studies.
