Part 1| Urban Violence as a Public Health Issue: What are the Civil Rights Implications?

Part 1| Urban Violence as a Public Health Issue: What are the Civil Rights Implications? Part one of the panel “Urban Violence as a Public Health Issue: What are the Civil Rights Implications?,” presented during the ABA Criminal Justice Section’s Ninth Annual Fall Institute” on November 4, 2016 in Washington, DC. Social scientists have increasingly found that the high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorders, poverty, mental illness, education deficiencies, social disconnection and other systemic issues have a direct connection between high crime levels in urban communities and mass incarceration. Urban violence must be addressed from the public health perspective. A project in Atlanta interviewed a cohort of over 10,000 subjects from inner-city Atlanta, and found that the rates of PTSD and Depression are higher than in our military veterans. These disorders, which result in part from trauma exposure during development, significantly increase likelihood of substance abuse and violent behavior, explaining a significant percentage of the high risk for criminal behavior and arrest in this population.
