How the Pandemic Reshaped American Gun Violence

An analysis by The New York Times revealed that the number of people living close to fatal violence grew drastically during the pandemic years. Professor of Criminology John MacDonald reviewed the findings. “You don’t want people to think that everywhere is so dangerous in a way that it’s not,” he says. “On the other hand, you don’t want people to think that, oh, this is just somebody else’s problem. It’s not happening in my neighborhood.”
