Recently there was a march in New Orleans by mothers who had lost sons to violence. And, unfortunately, about one hour later, near where the march was, nine people were shot. It does seem like there is no answer forthcoming about this problem of violence in the city of N.O.
My belief is that this problem is where specialists and scholars in various fields can be of help. Mental health professionals, sociologists, criminologists, and social workers should be among the specialists who offer their knowledge to solve this complicated problem.
Having marches, praying, and highlighting the problem on local news are all good. But they surely aren't enough.
