Bay Area Gun Violence - This Week in California (14 min)

Chris Engel 2/24/135:00 PM

This show focused on the pervasive gun violence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Excellent pieces followed up with a dynamic conversation among three panelists led by guest host and new ACEsConnection member Jami Floyd. Dr. Allison Briscoe-Smith, director of the Center for the Vulnerable Child at Children's Hospital Oakland, spoke about "chronic stress" (aka "toxic stress") and the very real research that points to this as a public health issue with a broad range of repercussions on individual health across the life span. Eva Jefferson Paterson, president and founder of Equal Justice Society, discussed her own story with violence and how it continues to haunt her years later. She responded to reporter Mina Kim's discussion about the inherent racial profiling problems with law enforcement's "stop & frisk" policies and how "stop & frisk" connects to the school-to-prison pipeline. Public awareness and trauma-informed programs were discussed.
