• Resumen

  • Venkataramanan interviews university professor Gary Slutkin about strategies that were most successful for stopping the spread of disease and what prompted his shift from disease to street violence. Slutkin explains why he thought his background in infectious disease might be useful in this area. He also discusses why violence reinforces itself, how a research-based cure for violence in the real world works, and how well that pilot program works.
