We all want to scale what works.  Funders ask for it. Communities desperately need it. And if you're in prevention, you feel that pressure—when something works in one place, why wouldn't  we get it everywhere, fast? Here's the thing: in violence prevention, scaling isn't just about going bigger. When done wrong, it can actually dilute your impact,...]]></description><link>https://www.evolveprevention.com/post/scaling-what-works-why-bigger-isn-t-always-better-in-prevention</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69739c75ad10a02858b66585</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:51:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2036b4_f176fedd42324253b86ad3d8039777bc~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sarah DeGue</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Evidence Matters in Violence Prevention]]></title><description><![CDATA[Effective prevention isn’t about checking a box.

Prevention builds futures — and saves money doing it. Every community pays for violence. We pay for emergency care and police response. We pay for lost workdays, broken trust, physical and psychological harm, intergenerational trauma, and interrupted lives. But what if we invested that same money before  harm happens — building safety and opportunity instead of repairing damage? It turns out, prevention isn’t just the right thing to do.
