Coordinated Community Response (CCR) refers to community-wide efforts to bring together relevant stakeholders to address complex social problems, such as intimate partner violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and substance abuse. While the core concepts of coordination of responses are now being applied to other social problems, there is little scholarly work detailing this application, and in many communities, there is a lack of understanding surrounding how to apply CCR to address violence prevention in general. This text is the first to address this gap in understanding by applying lessons from successful uses of CCR in relation to intimate partner violence to violence in general.

Coordinated Community Response offers a holistic approach, based on an examination of the literature as well as insight gained through the author’s involvement with communities, experts, not‐for‐profits, federal agencies, and other governmental organizations such as the police and human services. Intended for a multidisciplinary audience, this text is an important reference for students and practitioners of criminal justice, public health, social work, psychology, sociology, and other related disciplines.
