Results / Success Stories

People Reformed, Communities Transformed, Cities Revitalized

While Cure Violence communities have had impressive reductions in violence, the statistics fail to capture the profound effects that the program has had. To more fully capture the effects of the program, we have captured some of these stories – of conflicts prevented, lives saved, people reformed, communities transformed, and cities revitalized.

These stories are the reason we do what we do. Each one represents a step towards a world without violence.

What Others
Are Saying

I’ve seen this work; I’m in the middle of watching this work. I firmly believe in it.Chief Charlie Beck, Chief of Police, Los Angeles Police Department

I know Cure Violence is effective, because in 2008, the Cure Violence site had funding issues; its funding was cut. In some neighborhoods that summer, in particular Roseland on the south side, the shooting went up, dramatically. It was a very vivid example of what happens when the workers are present and not present.Andrea Zopp, CEO Chicago Urban League
