SUMMARY:Community and Behavioral Health Seminar Series: Evidence-Based Approaches for Addressing Places in Seattle Where Overdoses and Crime Are Concentrated
DESCRIPTION:CBH Seminar Series presenter Claudia Gross Shader\, PHD\, MPA\nResearch and Evaluation Director\, City of Seattle – Office of City Auditor \nPresenting “Evidence-Based Approaches for Addressing Places in Seattle Where Overdoses and Crime Are Concentrated”\nHERB 432 & Zoom \nDr. Gross Shader has worked for the City of Seattle since 1993 and has been with the Office of City Auditor since 2002. Throughout her time with the Office of City Auditor\, Dr. Gross Shader has led and participated in effective interagency collaborations\, developed and presented reports for elected leaders with short turnaround times\, and has worked effectively with diverse stakeholders on high-stakes City issues. Her current role as Research and Evaluation Director includes authoring reports for City leaders regarding public safety\, unsheltered homelessness\, and substance use disorder\, managing City Council-funded projects with university research partners to conduct rigorous evaluations of City ordinances and programs\, and serving as the City’s research liaison on federally-funded public safety evaluations. This public safety evaluation work has focused on building community capacity to change physical and social conditions at geographic locations where crime is concentrated. Since 2012\, she has provided technical assistance for the implementation and evaluation of a community-led\, place-based approach to reducing youth victimization and crime in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood which was initially funded by a Bureau of Justice Assistance\, Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation grant and has been funded by the City of Seattle and its community partners since 2016. The 2016 evaluation found declines in violent crime and improvements in perceptions of safety in the focus areas. Since 2012\, Dr. Gross Shader has been an active member of the Core Team (governing body) for Rainier Beach: A Beautiful Safe Place for Youth\, which is a collaboration among community-based organizations\, community members\, government agencies\, and schools. From 2017 to 2022\, Dr. Gross Shader also served as the Co-Principal Investigator on a $3.8 million grant from the National Institute of Justice to reduce school discipline\, youth crime\, victimization\, and youth exposure to the criminal legal system in Rainier Beach through community-led\, place-based\, non-punitive approaches. The 2023 evaluation found that the program was associated with significantly lower rates of calls for service and offenses in the areas around the treatment schools\, relative to the areas around the comparison schools. Offenses involving juvenile suspects and/or victims were also lower\, although not statistically significant. Since 2011\, Dr. Gross Shader has authored numerous reports on behalf of the Office of City Auditor (see CV for links to reports) in the areas public safety\, crime/violence prevention\, and unsheltered homelessness. In October 2022 Dr. Gross Shader authored a report regarding methamphetamine use disorder in Seattle that recommended that government\, including the City\, explore ways to deliver place-based treatment that is based on rigorous research and proven effective for people who use methamphetamine. The Washington State Health Care Authority subsequently funded a pilot program to test the recommended place-based approach in permanent supportive housing in Seattle\, which began in July 2023. Dr. Gross Shader has a Master’s degree in Public Administration and earned her Ph.D. in Criminology; her academic research includes crime prevention\, evidence-based policing\, translational criminology\, crime and place\, youth violence prevention\, school discipline reform\, community change initiatives. She is also an Affiliated Scholar with George Mason University’s Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy. \nRegister and learn more

SUMMARY:Monthly Spark60 Educational Virtual Series
DESCRIPTION:Location: HUB (SAC 105) \nWatch live educational events in the HUB (SAC 105) hosted by Spark60. In his best-selling book\, For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy\, What We Do\, and Who We Want to Be\, award-winning marketer and University of Michigan professor Marcus Collins offers a street-tested\, academically grounded framework for understanding the invisible forces that shape what we buy\, what we do\, and who we want to be. Drawing on a century’s worth of data and hard-won experience – from spearheading digital strategy for Beyoncé to launching the Brooklyn Nets to driving iconic campaigns for Apple\, Nike\, McDonald’s\, and Google – Collins reveals the cheat codes that the world’s most influential brands use to spark collective action. What emerges is a genuinely different way of thinking about influence\, one that works whether you’re running a campaign\, leading a team\, or trying to build something that lasts.
