I hate it when people cut and paste excerpts from an article (without providing a link) while editorializing.

That is from a 2019 article on tackling gun violence.

We Can’t End Inequality Until We Stop Urban Gun Violence

Of those crises, urban gun violence is the most addressable based on the evidence and tools available today. Mass shootings are episodic, acute events that are difficult to study or predict; urban homicides are chronic, making them more amenable to research and analysis. And what that research points to is a set of strategies with consistent track records of reducing shootings when done the right way.

Urban violence is also the linchpin of concentrated urban poverty, holding all the other conditions of inequality — joblessness, homelessness, poor education, and health — in place. That’s why we must put urban violence first in terms of sequence, if not importance. Until we pull this pin, poverty in our cities will remain as persistent as ever. A neighborhood that is not safe will never prosper.

To reduce community gun violence, we don’t actually need new laws. Instead, we need policies that recognize three core truths about the problem.

1. Shootings cluster among small numbers of people, places, and behaviors. More than a quarter of homicides in 2015 occurred in neighborhoods containing just 1.5 percent of the American population and collectively covering an area smaller than Green Bay, Wisconsin. And even in those communities, as few as 1 percent of a city’s population are responsible for the majority of fatal encounters.

2. Violent crime responds to both positive and negative incentives. Deterrence works, but so does providing alternatives to people who too often are seen as beyond saving.

3. Violence takes root where law enforcement is viewed as illegitimate. The episodes of excessive force and policies of discriminatory stops that have filled front pages and Justice Department reports leave people of color in resource-starved neighborhoods wary of cooperating with police. A rise in unsolved shootings leaves victims and their friends and family turning to revenge. The old slogan carries a deadly truth: Where there is no justice, there is no peace.

You regularly see these arguments on here.


There's a whole series of articles on there showing a range of solutions: How We Fix This: Covering Solutions to Gun Violence

"Gun violence is often portrayed as an intractable problem, but a growing body of evidence shows that there are existing interventions that can save lives right now. These programs rarely get the careful, sustained attention they deserve. This project seeks to change that."

in an ideal world, you right. but we have to do deal with reality right now.
reality is that if you don't change the way you vote things will only not change but get worse.

More inflation, more bailing out corporations, never bailing out the people, more inprisonment of non-whites, more murders, more wars.
If we continue down this path what do you think will happen? More homelessness, more poverty, more crime, MORE MISERY.

If we continue like this what we are experiencing now ain't NOTHING, we haven't seen shyt yet compared to what's to come.
It's simple math man, where's the money coming from and where's it going. What will be left?

That's the reality!

I want the economic and social issues that lead to crime to be address bot more police and gentrifacation

But you know that will take time to take effect. Until then, what should be done? Also you live in Chicago yes? How many Chicago kids have you mentored? How many have you influenced to take their education seriously Mister top rated law school graduate? Do you put as much effort into that as you do complaining about everyone else's efforts on the coli and throwing out c00n labels?
