Rev. Jeffrey Brown
A key player in the "Boston miracle" that lowered the rate of youth crime and gang violence, Rev, Jeffrey Brown is a Baptist minister.
Rev. Jeffrey Brown is the president of RECAP (Rebuilding Every Community Around Peace), a new national organisation that helps cities build partnerships between the faith-based community, government and law enforcement agencies to reduce gang violence.
He is one of the co-founders of the Boston Ten Point Coalition, a faith-based group that was an integral part of the “Boston Miracle,” a process where the city experienced a 79 percent decline in violent crime in the 90s, and spawned countless urban collaborative efforts in subsequent years that followed the Boston Ceasefire model.
He served as its Executive Director from 2005 to 2013.
