SCJ-Newark Anchor Initiative
Strong, healthy and safe neighborhoods are places where people and their families can thrive. The Rutgers School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) partnered with RCPS to further its commitment to the Rutgers University - Newark Strategic Plan (link) and the Newark Anchor Initiative. The SCJ - Newark Anchor Initiative focuses on data-informed community engagements to reduce crime and improve public safety in transparent, civilly just and sustainable ways. This initiative coordinates multiple stakeholders and mechanisms designed to improve the impact of public safety work already underway, and implements new evidence-based practices through direct fieldwork, research and consultation.

The NPSC maximizes local resources and expertise to solve problems and improve public safety in Newark. Read More
