The most violent places in the world today are not at war. Mexico had more violent deaths from 2007 to 2014 than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. In 2015, more Brazilian civilians died violently than Syrians. The devastating violence engulfing places buckling under gangs, drug cartels, and organized crime can seem hopeless. Yet some places—from Colombia to the Republic of Georgia—have been able to recover. In a discussion moderated by David Sanger, Rachel Kleinfeld will present findings that overturn much common wisdom about war, crime, and foreign intervention—and offer a blueprint for what can help.
