But as Harvard scholar Thomas Abt shows in Bleeding Out, we actually possess all the tools necessary to stem violence in our cities. Coupling the latest social science with firsthand experience as a crime-fighter, Abt proposes a relentless focus on violence itself -- not drugs, gangs, or guns. Because violence is "sticky," clustering among small groups of people and places, it can be predicted and prevented using a series of smart-on-crime strategies that do not require new laws or big budgets. Bringing these strategies together, Abt offers a concrete, cost-effective plan to reduce homicides by over 50 percent in eight years, saving more than 12,000 lives nationally. Violence acts as a linchpin for urban poverty, so curbing such crime can unlock the untapped potential of our cities' most disadvantaged communities and help us to bridge the nation's larger economic and social divides. Urgent yet hopeful, Bleeding Out offers practical solutions to the national emergency of urban violence -- and challenges readers to demand action." -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Diagnosis -- Treatment -- Prognosis. 650 0 $a Violence $z United States. 650 0 $a Violent crimes $z United States. 650 0 $a Victims of violent crimes $z United States. 650 0 $a Urban policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025055.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214025000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231004010202.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011209.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201203011651.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022101.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190723011243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4733A93EAD0F11E98C46566A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
