Books featuring Cure Violence

“Cure Violence offers a window into the power of public health programs…”

“Violence is a contagious disease. This is good news as this knowledge offers new strategies for control.”

“Cure Violence seeks to reduce lethal violence by working with the highest risk in the most impacted communities…”

“Gary Slutkin of [Cure Violence] wrote to me, “I believe that someday we may be able to contain violence, as we have so many other problems of history.””

“A central characteristic of the Cure Violence model is the use of credible messengers as workers – individuals from the same communities who are trusted and have access to the people who are most at risk of perpetrating violence.”

“The Cure Violence Health Model is a health approach for reducing violence. This model is based on established methods that have been shown to control other epidemic diseases.”

“What Slutkin brings … is training and mentoring, technical skill, functional (not locally specific) knowledge, a scientifically developed methodology, and a perspective on how these kinds of problems work in many different places.”

“Successful replication of the [Cure Violence] model in Iraq validates this implicit understanding that violence is a learned behavior that acts like an infectious disease.”

“Through the epidemiologist Gary Slutkin … I learned to view social contagions as neither inherently good or bad.”

“Slutkin was stunned and disappointed by the so-called solutions that existed for treating violence.”

“Violence should be defined globally as primarily a health issue…”

“Violence is a health issue because there is a specific scientific health lens that helps to better understand and effectively prevent violence.”

“The statistical evidence demonstrates specific reductions in [killings] in [Cure Violence] communities.”
