“Don’t Fight Back”and 10 Other Myths About Crime, Personal Safety, and Gender-Based Violence, with Meg Stone

Join us at the Greenfield Public Library on Friday, June 26 at 1:00 pm for “Don’t Fight Back”and 10 Other Myths About Crime, Personal Safety, and Gender-Based Violence, with Meg Stone.

A specific image of violence and how to avoid it lives in a lot of our imaginations. And what some of us fear most is shaped not by the strongest evidence, but the most viral horror stories.

Meg Stone, a nationally recognized violence-prevention expert, will present an accessible guide that debunks the most pervasive myths about crime and offers evidence-based strategies that make us safer. She will dive deep into dangerous safety myths and helps us understand what the evidence shows and what men in positions of authority just expect us to believe because they said so.

This event, sponsored by the Friends of the Greenfield Public Library, is free and open to the public.
