Moving from Them to Us: Challenges in Reframing Violence Among Youth
Published By: BMSG on eSS | Published Date: August, 09 , 2009This paper describes framing and the challenges particular to the context of violence prevention, with the goal of moving youth violence from being understood primarily as a criminal justice issue dealt with after the fact to being seen as a preventable public health issue.
