Cure Violence Revenue and Competitors

Cure Violence, ranked in the Top 10 global NGOs by NGO Adivsor, stops the spread of violence in communities by using the methods and strategies associated with epidemic control -- detecting and interrupting conflicts, identifying and treating the highest risk individuals and changing social norms. Community partners have deployed the Cure Violence health approach in more than 25 U.S. cities, over 100 neighborhoods, in 16 countries on 5 continents. The Cure Violence approach was developed by Gary Slutkin, M.D., an infectious disease specialist, using World Health Organization (WHO) strategies and has won multiple awards. It has been promoted by the Institute of Medicine, the National League of Cities, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Department of Justice and has been described in the Economist as "the approach that will come to prominence." Its work was featured in the 2011 award-winning documentary, "The Interrupters" and is currently featured in New York Times best-selling authors Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's new book, "A Path Appears."
