Beverly Kingston shares powerful journey to becoming a leader in violence prevention research

Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) Director, Beverly Kingston, recently shared about her journey into violence prevention for the Huff Post. Kingston recounts how she was bullied and harassed as a youth, which resulted in her leading a ‘double life’ and coping with alcohol. Her tale is one of many that reflect the consequences of youth not having adequate support through life traumas. Today, Kingston works to ensure young people have the support and guidance she never received. Kingston’s passion for preventing violence exemplifies the dedication Institute of Behavioral Science researchers have toward their work.
