Making Our Neighborhoods Safe

This program features Stephanie Mann and Dr. Deborah Prothrow-Stith. Stephanie Mann is a community activist who launched a "neighborhood watch" program in her hometown in California. As a result, crime was cut by more than 50%. She has since gone on to help others organize similar groups. Dr. Prothrow-Stith became interested in preventing violence while working as a resident at a hospital in Boston, where she began to see youth violence as a disease. She is the author of a violence prevention curriculum for adolescents which is used all over the country, helping young people deal with anger without resorting to violence. (27 minutes)
