 Subject: Secrets of Persuading Politicians to Halve Violent Crime in 5 Years in the Age of Science and Social Media: Are There Lessons for Cacor?

Time: Mar 20, 2024 13:30 Eastern Time (US and Canada)

 

Summary: 

Dr. Waller focuses on parallels needed within the climate changing world and crime prevention world. Scientific evaluations of innovations that stop violence crimes before they happen show that a 50% crime reduction is possible within 5 years.

Dr. Waller emphasizes that investing in effective violence prevention and mitigating climate change is more affordable and successful than policymakers think; a modest equivalent of 10 percent of what they spend on police, courts, and corrections will do it and often before the next election! Violence prevention is achievable because voters, contrary to what the media tells us, want much more than reaction, they want prevention.

Dr. Waller has undertaken an encyclopedic analysis of international sources to identify actions that have been proven effective. They are explained, in his 2019 book, Science and Secrets of Ending Violent Crime.
