Description & Coverage
Description:

Gun violence in modern America is a pressing societal issue that impacts individuals, families, and communities across the nation. By examining this topic through a multidisciplinary lens, we gain a deeper understanding of the systemic forces and leadership failures that contribute to its persistence, as well as potential avenues for meaningful change. Community schools, with their emphasis on localized support and civic engagement, emerge as promising interventions to address the root causes of violence and build long-term resilience. Anchored by institutions like universities and libraries, these schools can serve as critical hubs for fostering safety, equity, and opportunity in vulnerable communities. Addressing gun violence in this way not only saves lives but also strengthens the social fabric of society.

Gun Violence in Modern America and Its Victims: The Case for Atrocity offers a multidisciplinary perspective on gun violence. Drawing from a diverse array of fields, it examines gun violence through both individual stories and broader systemic forces. Covering topics such as community schools, mental illness, and racism, this book is an excellent resource for educators, community leaders, policy makers, public officials, researchers, academicians, and more.
