The purpose of this text is to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the
nature of violence aggression extremism and ethnic hate crimes in the US and to explicate
how community development stewardship and service may be implemented to address and reduce
these problems. When individuals of diverse backgrounds are provided with engagement
interaction and community-building stewardship programs negative ethnic stereotypes are
debunked conflict is reduced and individuals are more likely to communicate and build a more
resilient and empowered community. Recent political and administrative policies have created a
very tense environment among cities within the US especially within communities that have
larger populations of immigrant refugees and persons of varied ethnicities. This book aims to
ameliorate some of that tension.
