“In September of this year, Abrams Press released a new book by Jillian Peterson and James Densley titled, “The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic.” The book is the result of more than four years of work and research.
Both Peterson and Densley believe that understanding the problem is a necessary step to fixing it. The Violence Project work is a statement of hope in a time when it is easy to feel that Americans have become so inured to gun violence that we simply accept it as standard operating procedure, that we are so infected with “massacre fatigue” that we have just learned to live with it. The Violence Project believes that our best hope is to understand the problem, so that solutions can be found.”
The following article reviews and explores Dr. Jillian Peterson and Dr. James Densley’s new book “The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic” and their solutions towards violence prevention.
