Creative Interventions Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Stop Interpersonal Violence

In this culmination of three years of collaboration between seven different Bay Area organizations, you will find an elaborate and thoroughly researched guide to de-escalating, defusing, and preventing interpersonal violence. Born of an effort to develop an effective alternative to the criminal justice system, this guide provides organizations and individuals with noncarceral strategies for preventing violence. It offers a model for transformative justice that centers the victim, seeks to hold the person who caused the harm accountable, and works to prevent such harms from happening in the future. An immensely practical and grounded resource, it offers those working to develop effective community-based interventions to violence a concrete place to start.
