Mission possible- ending gun violence in America's Black and brown communities.

Mission possible- ending gun violence in America's Black and brown communities.

As COVID-19 took hold, urban gun violence exploded-but not in four cities in California. What did these cities have in common? The Advance Peace gun violence prevention program. In Advancing Peace, urban public health scholar Jason Corburn and the program's founder DeVone Boggan reveal how the community-based approach truly works, and how it holds out genuine hope, and proven solutions, for those trying to end the plague of gun violence in American cities.

With powerful evidence and heartfelt stories from the front lines, the authors describe a transformation based on compassion and redemption. Without overlooking the legacy of slavery, racism, and poverty in America's urban areas, the book lays out evidence-based, practical, cost-effective steps that tap the forces of unconditional love, forgiveness, and unyielding focus to restore a sense of purpose to those at the center of the crisis and to heal their communities.
