Violence Prevention
In Chicago, CeaseFire founder Gary Slutkin,M.D., spearheads a new approach to reducing gun violence: "Violence behaves like an infectious disease in every single way. We are applying exactly the methodology for controlling infectious diseases." CeaseFire engages the community to work with young people at high risk of being involved in violence, provides on-the-spot alternatives to shooting, and works to change social norms about gun violence.
