Not sure where to put this, if it needs to be moved mods feel free...
Interesting article from BBC. While I don’t agree with everything said, it was refreshing reading an approach to violence prevention that didn’t place the blame squarely on firearms ownership/availability. Their model is to intervene in the immediate aftermath and prevent violence from spreading, by using respected advocates from the areas affected by violence.
BBC - Future - Why we should treat violence like an epidemic
Criminal justice research shows deterrence (mass incarceration, tough on crime laws) to be largely ineffective. This might be a new approach that could get some results.
Interested to hear INGO’s thoughts.
