Chaos Theory is a violence prevention charity (1141485) founded in April 2010 . The Violence Interruption Project (VIP) is modelled on a highly acclaimed violence prevention programme called Cure Violence Chicago. Concentrating on communities most severely affected by gun and knife violence, our programme uses ‘Violence Interrupters’ (VIs) to identify potentially violent episodes. We target high-risk individuals (those known to be perpetrators and or victims of violence crime) and assist them in finding alternate ways of settling disputes without resorting to violence. Our outreach service works with disadvantaged people in the community/custody to support them in their efforts to live independently and successfully. We visit, befriend, advise and guide the young people through difficult stages in their life encouraging them to develop a range of strategies to create change and achieve positive outcomes without offending or resulting to violence.
