WBEZ series: The cost of replacing gun violence with jobs
In an ongoing series, WBEZ 91.5-FM and WBEZ.org is telling the stories of those affected by Chicago's rampant gun violence - from the young shooters and victims, to law enforcement, to moms taking to the streets to find solutions. The Daily Herald is republishing some of those stories, including this piece that attempts to calculate the cost of reducing the city's notorious gun violence through an effective jobs program. You can find this story and the entire Every Other Hour project at WBEZ.org or on the WBEZ app.
