National Summit on Preventing Civil Disturbances

This Summit was designed to build on the valuable contribution of two previous national meetings on this topic.  While local communities continue to struggle with celebratory riots and mixed issue disturbances, much has been learned about how to successfully prevent civil disturbances.  Built around a solid foundation of evidence-based observations, the Summit focused on action planning and solution-building for campus and community. The Summit brought together 140 speakers and discussants, including researchers, students, city officials, law enforcement personnel, faculty, business owners, and campus administrators, to examine ways that campuses and communities can work together to prevent celebrations from turning into civil disturbances and riots.
