    Australia's Violence Crisis: Lessons From Scotland

    Australia is in the middle of a difficult conversation about violence. From youth crime to knife attacks and domestic violence, politicians, police and communities are all searching for answers.

As one of the founders of Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit, she helped change Glasgow from one of Europe's most violent cities into an international case study in violence prevention by treating violence as a public health issue, not just a criminal justice problem.
