Product Description
Violence spreads like an infectious disease and should be treated as a public health emergency. Tio “Mr. CeaseFire” Hardiman, Founder of Violence Interrupters, shares his personal experiences as a young boy navigating the brutal streets of Chicago and the critical moments which led to his life’s decision to serve as a violence prevention expert.
In this book, Hardiman identifies the root causes and impacts of the gun violence epidemic in urban cities and introduces readers to the Public Health Approach, a revolutionized strategy Violence Interrupters has employed to stop the deadly disease from spreading.
