Katie Wilson’s Controversial Gun Violence Plan: Unarmed CARE Teams vs. Seattle’s Gang Violence

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is putting a new strategy for fighting gun violence to the test — and it raises some serious questions. Wilson's gun violence prevention plan expands the role of Seattle's unarmed CARE teams, sending social workers into a larger role as the city confronts shootings and gang violence. But CARE team leader Amy Barton says social workers can't do it alone. She points to the need for law enforcement support, prosecution and accountability alongside the intervention and services CARE teams provide. Can unarmed social workers play a meaningful role on the front lines of a gun violence crisis? And where does their role end and law enforcement's begin?
