The Overlooked Resource in Domestic and National Security

Last week The Bob Woodson Show—What Works and Why talked about the reductions in homicides nationwide and the role of an engaged citizenry in reducing crime and violence. Extending this principle to national security, how can an engaged citizenry further work to protect this country and produce civil order in other countries? What are the resources that exist in communities across the country? Why are they overlooked? What can be done to better utilize them? Guests are Dr. William Schambra, director of the Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal; Dr. Stuart Butler, The Heritage Foundation's Vice President of Domestic and Economic Policy Studies; and Dr. Bernard Gant, founder of the Association of Christian Schools International.
