Pastor Corey Brooks and James Highsmith discuss Project H.O.O.D.'s violence prevention program.
"A Violence Prevention Team is a team that is working directly on the street, boots on the ground, working with individuals that's most likely to shoot or be shot," Highsmith replied. "Our main objective is that we work [using] the public health approach, where we recognize violence is somewhat like a disease. And what we try to do is interrupt the transmission between violence being spread from one individual or from one group to another."
Highsmith added: "We recognize that most things are done by choice, and everyone in our community has a choice. However, they don't have that many options …What we're trying to do at Project H.O.O.D. is broaden the horizon and broaden the scope in regards to how many options we can give people that they can change the norm."
