    Building Bridges to Prevent Violence in Baltimore and Beyond

    November 22, 2023

    Nadine Finigan-Carr, speaks with Thomas Scalea and another attendee at the Peace Is a Civil Right” open house

    At an open house for the UMB Center for Violence Prevention, Nadine Finigan-Carr, PhD, MS, outlined the center’s vision — to help reduce and respond to violence in Baltimore City and well beyond — and discussed the collaborative work that must happen across the University and the greater community to make that possible.

    “A wise woman once said, ‘A vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare,’ ” said Finigan-Carr, who is the center’s inaugural executive director. “And since I’ve stepped into this role on May 1, I’ve worked with community members to make this vision clearer and to take action toward implementing it.”

    She also outlined the ripple effects of violent behavior, explaining that the center’s goal is to “interrupt and intervene” in all types of violence, specifically nonfatal aggression and assault that are precursors to deadly force. “Gun violence and homicide, yes, they’re serious, but we need to intervene way before,” she said. 

    Read about the center’s transformative work.
