What did these cities have in common? The Advance Peace gun violence prevention program. In \u003ci\u003eAdvancing Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith powerful evidence and heartfelt stories from the front lines, the authors describe a transformation based on compassion and redemption.
