Combining the latest social science with firsthand experience as a crime-fighter, Abt demonstrates that we must focus on hot people, the small groups of men who commit the majority of serious crimes, and on hot spots, the blocks and corners where violence clusters. Arguing against hopelessness and fearmongering, Abt proposes a relentless focus on violence--not drugs, gangs, or guns. But the goal is not just to save lives. As Abt reveals, because violence acts as the linchpin of urban poverty, curbing such crime can unlock the untapped potential of our nations most disadvantaged communities.
