Gun violence continues to be a pervasive issue among most large cities, but a new program at Temple's School of Medicine is working to cut down on the instances of gun violence in Philadelphia. Based on a program in Chicago with proven results, Philadelphia CeaseFire seeks to stop the cycle of gun violence by focusing on community mobilization. "We have hired three outreach workers, ex-offenders who…know the streets," said Marla Davis Bellamy, director of Philadelphia CeaseFire. "They know some of the temptation that many of our young people are facing."
