#9374 Violence & Society - Street Crime (Run time 57 min.) DVD $129.95
In part one of this program, Hedrick Smith explores how the Uptown area of Chicago has dramatically lowered the rate of violent crime despite the ethnic diversity that normally spells turf wars, trouble, conflict, and violence. The critical ingredient is what Harvard social scientist Felton Earls calls social cohesion: a close-knit neighborhood and a strong community spirit developed through one of the highest concentrations of active, mutually supportive civic groups in America. In part two, Mr. Smith profiles the Blue Hills area of Kansas City, Missouri, where ordinary residents organized themselves to drive out drug dealers from their neighborhood and rehabilitate abandoned properties.

#9375 Violence & Society - Hate Crime (Run time 57 min.) DVD $129.95
Part one of this program shows how the New South has found some answers to an old problem: racial violence-in this case church burnings in the rural flatlands of South Carolina. Law enforcement officials arrest and jail members of the Ku Klux Klan for the church burnings, and one black church files a lawsuit against the KKK and manages to win a remarkable $38-million judgment against the Klan from a racially mixed jury. Standing up to hate and not remaining silent is vital, says Pastor Jonathan Mouzon. "If we keep our mouths shut, it just gives [racists] more power," he says. In part two, Hedrick Smith spotlights a pioneering high school class on tolerance that has changed the social climate at San Clemente High School, where tensions among whites, Latinos, blacks, and Asian-Americans led to brutal violence and killing in the 1990s. Deeply disturbed by this violence among teenagers, teacher Joe Moros devised a curriculum that confronts the causes and effects of intolerance-and 200 students later, his success is visible in the school's notably reduced racial tensions.

Breaking its analysis into three parts, the program examines road rage, workplace aggression, and violence among sports spectators, with observations from police officers, anger management counselors, athletes, and recovering "ragers."
