Strong neighborhood ties can help reduce gun violence

23 diciembre 2014

The bonds that tie a neighborhood together can help shield community members from gun violence, according to new findings. «Violence results in chronic community-level trauma and stress, and undermines health, capacity, and productivity in these neighborhoods,» said the study’s lead author. «Police and government response to the problem has focused on the victim or the criminal. Our study focuses on empowering communities to combat the effects of living with chronic and persistent gun violence.»
