Safe Communities: Violence as a Public Health Crisis

Dr. Robert Kinscherff, associate vice president of community engagement and professor of clinical psychology at William James College; Dr. Nancy Rappaport, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and continuing education instructor at William James College; and Dr. Jaime Barrett, director of the Clinical Support Unit at the Cambridge Police Department and assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, gave presentations.
