You've Got Options: 3 Questions with Cure Violence Global
In this episode, we sit down with Charlie Ransford, Senior Director of Science and Policy at Cure Violence Global (CVG), to explore how their innovative approach to violence prevention is making communities safer. Guided by a public health framework, CVG applies evidence-based strategies to interrupt violence before it spreads, focusing on community partnerships and data-driven solutions.
At The Just Trust, we believe that every community should have access to a better menu of options when it comes to safety. Whether it’s mobile street teams, crisis responders, or innovative alternatives to incarceration, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Charlie discusses how CVG’s model — built on detecting and interrupting violent situations, changing high-risk behaviors, and shifting group norms — is creating a variety of pathways to safety.
