New Mexico has a poor reputation when it comes to crimes of violence. It seems that parts of our culture, if not actively encouraging such behavior, do not do as well as they could in preventing it. And recently, we have been hearing more about human trafficking, which is itself yet another form of violence, often sexually-oriented.
However, there are organizations dedicated to helping the victims of such events. And right here in Santa Fe we have one such group which is working on the front line. KSFR’s David King met with the Executive Director of Santa Fe’s Solace Crisis Treatment Center to talk about their work.
