We're excited to see our work on community-based indicators of public safety with the City of Saint Paul and World Youth Connect covered in this new article. After conducting interviews and focus groups with 50 young people, we developed a set of measurable indicators that city leaders can test to see whether their actions are contributing to people feeling safer in their community. “We developed these ‘aspirational’ safety indicators, rooted in youth lived experience, to signal clearly to the local government what truly matters to local youths and what needs to change to create a safer community.” —Damonique Sonnier, GPL Government Innovation Fellow Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/ezgxBdjX
