GSO extends Cure Violence as advocates push for more amid questions over program's effectiveness

A highly touted initiative to address violent crime was just renewed for funding by the Greensboro City Council. Cure Violence completed its second year in Greensboro and is already in other North Carolina communities. Places like Forsyth County may bring it in soon. The program sends trained mediators to targeted high crime areas in a city that’s been grappling with a record-breaking number of fatal shootings.
