Martin Bisp of Empire Fighting Chance introduced book contributor Serena Wiebe as someone who stands up to kings, prime ministers, peers, and movie stars to challenge them on addressing violence. 👑

The fight for safer communities for young people requires addressing the fundamental and structural challenges they face. 🥊

The book interrogates how power shapes the understanding of violence and influences how prevention outcomes are measured. Aimed at reform-minded policymakers, practitioners, funders, and advocates, it offers a practical foundation for collaborative, prevention-focused action and policy innovation.

Through a multidimensional lens, the authors address forms of violence including sexual and gender-based violence, racial and ethnic violence, gang and group-based violence, state-perpetrated violence, political violence, and violence against migrants.

It examines the complex intersections of structural and acute violence in cities and highlights locally driven solutions drawn from the fields of urban violence prevention, atrocity prevention, and peacebuilding.
