Evidence snapshot for San Diego
San Diego has pioneered a co-located service model for domestic-violence survivors through its Family Justice Center, opened in 2002, which has been replicated at 100+ centres across the US and in 20+ countries; San Diego County recorded five domestic-violence homicides in 2023, a 50% year-on-year decline, though this represents context rather than a causal claim about the Centre itself. The region's higher-education institutions have also led innovation in faculty AI literacy and assessment: San Diego State University launched a faculty micro-credential in generative-AI literacy in 2024 with 145 completers earning a badge and 98% recommending it to colleagues, while UC San Diego administered approximately 8,500 short video oral exams across 10 engineering courses as an AI-cheating countermeasure.
