• Community members who reside in gang and crime impacted neighbourhoods don’t only distrust the police, but they have a general distrust of the world. • When a community member is a victim of a homicide that occurs within the community that they reside in, often times the surviving family members believe that people in their own neighbourhood are aware of who committed the murder. However, that information is rarely shared with the surviving family members. • Family members of homicide and/or shooting victims carry a general distrust, fuelled by anxiety and trauma, in almost every level of interaction they have throughout their day - with the exception of other family members, close friends, and religious institutes.

• These experiences become adopted experiences within their family and social circles.

• Police only account for an approximate 10% of their overall distrust in life.
