       and Howard R. Spivak-- two prominent Boston-area public 
       health officials who played leading roles in that city's 
       turnaround-- show that the key to Boston's success was 
       creating an interdisciplinary citywide movement. The 
       city's movement-- made up of educators, community leaders,
       police officers, emergency room workers, activist teens, 
       teen and family member survivors of violence, and many 
       others-- worked for more than ten years to implement 
       multifaceted preventive programs that confronted each risk
       factor for youth violence, including Positive Role Models:
       Peer mentoring and teacher-training programs Healthy and 
       Safe Communities: Youth centers, after-school programs, 
       and other organized recreational activities Poverty: 
       Economic stimulus policies to help reduce poverty in inner
       -city and rural areas Pro-Social Behaviors: Conflict 
       resolution and violence prevention curricula in schools 
       Domestic Violence: Home visitation programs and screening 
       to protect kids from domestic violence Gun Buybacks: 
       Reduction in the number of firearms on the streets.
