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.”

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

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

“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.”

“According to multiple quasi-experimental evaluations conducted in Chicago, Baltimore, Brooklyn and New York City (87–90), the Cure Violence programme is associated with fewer shootings, killings and retaliatory killings in communities where it has been implemented fully, with 20–70% reductions in violence.”
