The contents of the Violence interruption page were merged into Cure Violence on 23 February 2023 and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history.

I went through and cleaned up & strengthened some of the citations. I'm planning on doing some work on the so-called "history" section soon. There are 2 issues with this section: it is centered around the history of the organization that originated the model (in fact, the section seems to be copied verbatim from that organization's page), and it has more focus on efficacy than history. I plan to break this up into 2 sections, one which discusses the different places/organizations which have implemented the model, and one which discusses the evidence surrounding the model. The level of editing activity has been low over the past year, so I feel comfortable just doing this, but if anyone else is keeping an eye on this page let me know!

Turns out there's a lot to go through here. I'm just looking at the history of CeaseFire (now Cure Violence) in Illinois right now, and I have a lot of notes, even just through 2006. I'll discuss the history of this organization on it's own talk page, and when I update this page I'll include a short summary and link to the main article.

As I'm looking more at Cure Violence/CeaseFire, it's not clear to me that it makes sense to have "Violence Interruption" as a separate page from the Cure Violence page. From what I can tell, violence interruption is generally organized through relationships with Cure Violence. This can be inferred by the amount of redundancy between the two pages, with this one stating that the "model" was originally developed under the name CeaseFire, while the Cure Violence page says that the "organization" was originally developed under that name. This page discusses "initiatives implementing the model" in cities which are also listed in Cure Violence's "partner" section.

I haven't looked at the standards/process for page deletion (or, more appropriately, replacing the contents of this page with a redirect). I'll consider it more deeply once I'm done working on the Cure Violence page, but figured I'd mention it now in case anyone else has thoughts on this, or there are previously considered reasons why these pages need to be separate.
