Thomas Gabor, a criminologist and international consultant, examined 1,000+ mass shootings in America in 2019-2020. His analysis shatters the myth that most mass shootings are random attacks on strangers. While such events dominate the media’s attention, mass shootings usually involve disputes between individuals or groups. A disproportionate number occur in disadvantaged communities of color. The book offers solutions ranging from tackling persistent poverty, vendetta-like conflicts, and widespread gun carrying to various gun policy reforms. A key message is that mass shootings can only be reduced if both the social and economic conditions that underlie them and easy access to guns by those at risk of violence are addressed. |
