The Violence Epidemic: Justice, Public Health and Ethics

Milwaukee, WI US
June 13, 2017

On June 13, 2017, the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities at the Medical College of Wisconsin is sponsoring a conference on the epidemic of violence, particularly in Milwaukee, and the associated justice, public health and ethics concerns raised by this epidemic.  The impetus for this conference was, in part, the violence last summer in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood and subsequent conversations with local government leaders, public health researchers, policy makers and health care professionals about the ongoing need to examine this pressing topic in our local community from the perspectives of justice, public health and ethics.
