Violence prevention in the wake of Sandy Hook

Chris Engel 1/15/139:30 PM

"Contrary to what many people believe, mass shooters and other killers aren’t born, they’re created.

Violence is preventable, though maybe not totally avoidable. As shown by a growing body of scientific research, interventions that address the underlying causes of violent behavior and victimization are effective in preventing new instances of violence. There are programs and strategies that, if implemented correctly, reliably and significantly reduce youth crime....

"To prevent violence we need partnerships among families, schools and other programs and providers to create coordinated approaches that support healthy development. These partnerships should support workforce training, long-term tracking and setting aside resources for evidence-based prevention programs."
