National Safety Gaps Survey


WE ALL SHARE A VISION FOR SAFETY.


AMERICANS AGREE ON OUR SAFETY PRIORITIES.

Government spending doesn’t match. We’re left with a gap in health and safety.


TOWARD SHARED SAFETY: AMERICA’S SAFETY GAPS


A CRISIS HAS EXPOSED A GAP IN HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR AMERICANS.

A national report shows government spending being misplaced, while the views of
American voters provide a roadmap for where public safety investments should be
redirected.

 * Major Findings
 * Crime Victims
 * Mental Health & Addiction
 * People with Past Convictions
 * Voters Support Shared Safety
 * Recommendations


A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND NATIONAL SURVEY HAS REVEALED NOT ONLY GAPS IN ACCESS TO
HEALTH AND SAFETY, BUT ALSO A GAP BETWEEN WHAT PUBLIC SAFETY INVESTMENTS
AMERICANS SUPPORT AND WHAT GOVERNMENT FUNDS.

Major Findings →


THERE IS NO BASE OF SUPPORT IN THE U.S. FOR PROTECTING OUR EXCESSIVE PRISON
SPENDING.

98%

of American voters agree:

Jails and prisons are not their priority to protect from budget cuts, especially
during an economic downturn.


AMERICANS' PUBLIC SAFETY PRIORITIES

Over

Voters choose Shared Safety solutions over jails and prisons.

When American voters choose their top two public safety investments to
prioritize, over 4 out of 5 select solutions of prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation, over jails and prisons: mental health, job training, violence
prevention, and victim services. Less than one in five choose jails and prisons.
See what Americans rank as their public safety priorities

47%

38%

job training and placement post-incarceration

32%

What is Shared Safety? →




SO WHAT'S GOING ON?

> U.S. spending on the criminal justice system is now as high as $300 billion,
> up from $40 billion in 1982.

Yet, we continue to shortchange health and safety solutions for communities.

Crime victims don’t get help. Mental health and addiction treatment are not
available. People are blocked from economic opportunities for reentry.



U.S. Criminal Justice System Spending

Crime Victims

Less Than

crime survivors report receiving help to recover

Read Kimesha's story in the report »

When crime survivors did receive help, it was generally not from the criminal
justice system.

7 out of 10 of violent crime victims have been victimized more than once

When crime survivors did receive help, it was generally not from the criminal
justice system.

Mental Health & Addiction

Less Than

Americans reporting a mental health issue said they received treatment

Learn More →

38% of Americans reported experiencing a mental health issue.

Among those who sought mental treatment but did not receive it:

44%

said it was hard to access, too far away or had waiting lists

37%

said they could not afford it or insurance did not cover it

Mental Health & Addiction

Nearly

Americans with a substance use disorder did not receive treatment.

Read Cherita's story in the report »

Among those who did not receive treatment:

Nearly half said it was hard to access, treatment options were too far away or
had waiting lists

said they could not afford it or insurance did not cover it



People With Past Convictions

70 Million

Americans are living with a past conviction or record that carries legal
restrictions, blocking them from jobs and housing.

Among those whose most serious conviction was a felony:

7 in 10 said they had difficulty finding a job

Nearly 6 in 10 said they had difficulty finding housing.




THERE IS STRONG OVERLAP BETWEEN THE PRIORITIES TO CLOSE THESE SAFETY GAPS AND
THE PUBLIC SAFETY PRIORITIES OF AMERICAN VOTERS.

Voters Support Shared Safety →


AMERICAN VOTERS CHOOSE SHARED SAFETY SOLUTIONS

INCREASING COMMUNITY VIOLENCE PREVENTION

Nearly 8 in 10 voters support increasing community-based violence prevention
workers through federal funding to help prevent young people from getting
involved in crime.

HIRING HOSPITAL-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION

Nearly 2 in 3 voters support expanding and hiring hospital-based violence
prevention workers with federal funding to help prevent retaliation for gun
violence.

EXPANDING VICTIMS’ SERVICES

More than 8 in 10 voters support expanding victims’ services with federal
funding to help more victims of violence get access to programs that help them
with financial recovery and recovery from trauma.

SERVICES FOR CHILDREN EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE

More than 8 in 10 voters support expanding emotional support and recovery
services for children who have been exposed to violence through federal funding.


AMERICAN VOTERS CHOOSE SHARED SAFETY SOLUTIONS

EXPANDING 911 FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Nearly 8 in 10 voters support expanding the 911 system so that calls for mental
health and substance abuse issues are directed to trained mental health
professionals to respond instead of police.

SHIFTING FUNDS TO ORGANIZATIONS

Nearly 6 in 10 voters support shifting funds from police to community
organizations that use relevant experts to address issues, such as domestic
violence, de-escalation, mental health, and violence interruption programs.

EXPANDING MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS

Nearly 8 in 10 voters support expanding mental health crisis responses so that
emergency calls about psychiatric crises are handled by mental health experts.

ENDING POST-CONVICTION BANS

Nearly 6 in 10 voters support lifting bans on eligibility for emergency aid,
housing assistance and food stamps for people with past convictions.


AMERICAN VOTERS CHOOSE SHARED SAFETY SOLUTIONS

 

voters support alternatives to incarceration for low-level offenses.

7 in 10 voters across political party, age and gender support this policy.

Nearly

voters support alternatives to incarceration for someone who has participated in
rehabilitation programs or maintained good behavior in prison and has been
assessed as a low risk to public safety. Majority support for this policy holds
across political party, age and gender.

 

voters support the release of some people from jails and prisons who are already
set to be released in the near future, or who are elderly or sick. More than 6
out of 10 voters across party, age and gender support this policy.





THIS PICTURE OF A BROKEN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND MISPLACED SPENDING
PRIORITIES DEMONSTRATES WHY SAFETY REMAINS OUT OF REACH FOR TOO MANY. YET, THERE
IS A PATHWAY TOWARDS SHARED SAFETY…

View Recommendations →


THERE ARE THREE IMPORTANT STEPS THAT CAN BEGIN TO SHIFT US TOWARDS SHARED
SAFETY:

1

REQUIRE SHARED SAFETY IMPACT STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORTING ON SAFETY GAPS

Federal and state policymakers should require Shared Safety Impact Statements to
assess public safety-related budget and legislative proposals for their safety
impact, similar to a fiscal impact statement on cost. Annual reporting on safety
gaps related to the capacity of violence prevention, trauma recovery, addiction,
mental health treatment and reentry resources to meet community needs should
also be required to evaluate where investments must be targeted. Policymakers
should also require annual reporting on safety gaps that identifies who is
experiencing crime and violence and the impacts, and assesses the capacity of
violence prevention, trauma recovery, addiction and mental health treatment, and
reentry resources to meet community needs.

2

REQUIRE JOINT RESPONSIBILITY & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Require Joint Responsibility & Community Partnerships to ensure more
collaboration and shared responsibility. Data sharing and public safety
strategies co-designed with communities can attain safety for all.

3

REALLOCATE RESOURCES TO NEW SAFETY PRIORITIES

Reallocate Resources to New Safety Priorities that focus on prevention,
treatment and recovery, over spending on incarceration. Smarter approaches, such
as emergency mental health crisis response, community-based and hospital-based
violence prevention, trauma recovery for victims and children exposed to
violence, and removing bans on aid eligibility for people with past convictions,
will advance safety. Policymakers should build incentives into funding streams,
rewarding these approaches that improve safety and reduce unnecessary spending
on incarceration.

CRIME VICTIM SERVICES

Crime impacts large numbers of people in the U.S. each year. People who survive
a violent crime can face devastating lifelong consequences from the traumatic
event. If unaddressed, this trauma can lead to mental health or addiction
issues, challenges returning to work or maintaining stable housing, and can even
lead to someone being re-victimized.

Victims of crime experience significant challenges in recovery and healing:
Nearly 8 in 10 said their life had been affected by the crime.

Black Americans are more likely to be the victims of serious violent crimes.
Younger people are more likely to be violent crime victims – people under the
age of 45 are three times more likely to be victims of violent crime than those
over age 45.


×


MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION

Nearly 9 out of 10 people with a mental health issue said their life had been
very, somewhat or slightly affected by it. As experts in crime, violence and
safety affirm, untreated mental health and substance abuse issues, particularly
combined with economic instability, are among the most common drivers of crime
involvement and recidivism. The stark lack of capacity to attain effective
treatment presents many risks to safety.

According to National Safety Gaps Survey responses, mental health issues
affected younger people and crime victims more significantly. Black Americans
and younger adults seeking mental health treatment were found to be less likely
to receive it.
