Drawing on decades fighting infectious disease as Director of Intervention at the World Health Organization, Dr Gary Slutkin reveals how violence behaves like other epidemics - spreading through exposure and social transmission, but also responsive to proven methods of interruption and prevention. By treating violence as a contagious illness rather than a moral failing, he reveals how people around the world have begun to heal themselves and their communities.
This essential book unveils the insidious way violence works on our bodies and brains - from exposure to contagion to epidemic - and shows how we can break the cycle of trauma by interrupting the spread. Incisive, far-reaching and ultimately hopeful, The End of Violence challenges the idea that violence is inevitable and points the way to a more peaceful world.
Dr Gary Slutkin is a physician and epidemiologist and innovator in violence reduction. As the Founder and former CEO of Cure Violence Global, he is widely recognized for pioneering the epidemic control approach to violence prevention. Formerly the Director of Interventions at the World Health Organization, Dr Slutkin guided efforts to combat epidemics of tuberculosis, cholera, and AIDS in over twenty countries in Africa and Asia. Dr Slutkin has presented his solution-oriented understanding of the violence epidemic to the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the State Department, Harvard Law School, the Institute of Medicine, MIT, the United States Congress, and the National Intelligence Council. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, CNN, BBC, and in the award-winning film, The Interrupters.
