Battling Blood in the Streets: How Can Neuroscience Promote Public Health and Support Public Policy to Prevent Community Violence?
Description
Far too many people across the country are left dead, injured, or traumatized by community violence. Communities can be safer when neuroscience, public health strategies, and collective advocacy are aligned in practice and policy. This event convened experts to discuss the best next steps to fostering a broad science-informed advocacy movement to effectively address community violence.
This panel discussion was followed by the Petrie-Flom Center's 2016 Open House.
