哈佛青少年暴力预防中心与马萨诸塞州波士顿市合作，创建了一个追踪青少年暴力的数据系统。该系统提供有关打架、欺凌、约会暴力和携带枪支的持续信息。数据显示，许多波士顿青少年害怕乘坐公共交通工具（与家里、学校或街上相比），而且大多数学生普遍高估了他们同学携带枪支的数量。该系统还提供诸如集体效能等邻里变量的数据。由于学术界和城市合作伙伴之间的相互尊重，以及它为双方提供的共同利益，该系统取得了成功。
The Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center has partnered with the city of Boston, Massachusetts to create a data system to track youth violence. The system provides continuing information about fighting, bullying, dating violence and gun carrying. Data from it show that many Boston adolescents are afraid on public transportation (as compared to home, school or street) and that most students widely overestimate the number of their classmates carrying guns. The system also provides data on neighbourhood variables such as collective efficacy. The system has been a success due to the mutual respect shown between the academic and city partners, and the mutual benefits it provides to both.
