333 - Gun Violence Prevention: Interrupting Gun Violence in Urban Neighborhoods

While gun violence has increased in most cities, Richmond, California, has seen a marked decrease in the last decade thanks to an organization that works with the people most likely to be the victims of gun violence: the shooters themselves. Guest host Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, talks with DeVone Boggan, founder, and CEO of Advance Peace. They discuss how the organization's fellowship system engages young people involved in lethal firearm offenses, approaches to violence that center wellbeing, and how investment in programs like these translates not only to saving millions of public dollars, but truly disrupting cycles of violence.
