U.S. funded programs treating violence as a communicable disease -- and targeting the environment in which it spreads -- have had a marked impact in Honduras over the past few years, according to an in-depth New York Times Sunday Review piece. Sonia Nazarro argues that smart aid investments have driven down homicides in San Pedro Sula's most murderous neighborhood, Rivera Hernández, by 62 percent. The policies are a rebuke to isolationist tendencies in the U.S. Not only are they driving down migration by unaccompanied minors -- a central tenet of current aid initiatives for the Central American "Northern Triangle," but are also contributing to repair U.S. inflicted harms, she argues.
