Seeking Safe Passage: Solutions
Every year, scores of Chicago children are shot, knifed and beaten on city streets. Almost as frequently, new policing strategies are rolled out, anti-violence programs are launched and private and public money is thrown at the problem.

Researchers and experts say the cure lies not in the haphazard treatment of the symptoms but in addressing the causes with targeted and scientific methods. Join WVON Radio host Cliff Kelly and a distinuguished panel as they discuss the solutions to the problem.
