The Blueprint for Violence Prevention was a research program developed at the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at University of Colorado in Boulder. Its goal was to identify model violence-preventing programs for implementation in Colorado. After reviewing over 600 programs the Blueprints Initiative found 11 programs it identified as model programs and 21 which it considered were promising. The research project selected programs based upon evidence of a deterrent effect, sustained effect, multiple site replication, cost-benefit analysis, and other mediating factors. This project was funded buy the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
