In this podcast, Center for Court Innovation researchers Rachel

Swaner, Lama Ayoub, and Elise Jensen discuss their National Institute of Justice funded report on the United

States Department of Justice’s Defending Childhood Demonstration Program. The

program, which began in 2010, funded eight pilot sites across the country to address children’s exposure to

violence. The Center produced a series of reports on six of the eight sites, as well as a report that

condenses lessons learned across the sites.
