Professor Delbert Elliott, director of the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence, and 欧美口爆视频 Attorney General Ken Salazar will speak to high school students in Denver and Louisville about youth violence on Wednesday, Oct. 11.
The visits are part of a statewide series of school meetings that Elliott and Salazar are making through the Safe Communities-Safe Schools initiative. Since last spring, the two have visited almost every 欧美口爆视频 county to meet with students, teachers, administrators and community members to discuss issues of youth violence and violence prevention.
Elliott and Salazar will visit Denver's North High School from 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. and Monarch High School in Louisville, 329 Campus Drive, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Both meetings are open to the public.
During the visits, students will be asked about their perceptions and ideas on the issue of youth violence, and Elliott will discuss facts concerning youth violence in the United States. He also will cover programs that have proven to be effective in preventing youth violence.
