We thank Xander Beberman for outstanding research assistance. We are grateful to the Chicago Police Department for making available the data upon which this analysis is based. This research builds on a predictive model the authors developed to identify men at high risk of future gun violence involvement for referral into READI Chicago, an experimental preventive social service intervention. The larger research effort around READI Chicago was made possible with support from the philanthropic community, including the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities, JPMorgan Chase, and the Chicago Sports Alliance.
