Listen "The Persistent Problem of Gun Violence"
Episode Synopsis
Richmond has come a long way since our "murder capital" days, but the problem of gun violence persists, challenging our assumptions about how it happens. Can new data, new approaches – and a new city office – end gun violence in Richmond?
Plus: we hear from an after-school program for kids that might be part of the solution.
