Rev. Jeffrey Brown speaks on urban violence at TED2015 Well never arrest our way out of this situation Brown was one of the cofounders of the Boston Ten Point Coalition a faithbased group that was an integral part of the Boston Miracle during which violent crime in the city declined by 79 through the 1990s. But to be a part of this change Brown realized that he couldnt just stand on a pulpit and talks to the congregants in the pews. He knew he had to leave his church and go out into the community and minister to the people that religious figures like him tended to ignore.
