Chicago has been so gripped by violence that a new study found that by age 40, half of all residents have witnessed a shooting.
More than 7% of Black and Latinos in the study and 3% of whites had been shot by age 40.

How do guns spread through social networks, and how often are the same guns used in multiple crimes?
#SocialNetworkAnalysis of NIBIN and co-arrest data suggests the same guns are repeatedly used in crimes.

Still so pumped that we got to speak with the gals from @tsfuthepodcast! Another wonderful tool for us to spread the knowledge! Time to catch up on my episodes 😍😍
After reading on sanctions and crime, how many of you know the average sanctions for violent and property crimes respectively? If this is unknown, how can one accurately assess his/her risk when deciding to commit a crime? #crimthoughts

Pogarsky & Loughran (2016) briefly discuss “pulling levers” policing strategy that focuses on specific offenders for crime control. Do you think local LE adoption of this strategy and its promotion could have crime reducing impacts that extend beyond the individuals of focus?

Recently stumbled across this TEDTalk. I highly recommend. #BleedingOut is also a great book further discussing urban violence.
"When it comes to #urbanviolence, the first priority is to save lives, treating that violence with the same urgency that we would treat a gunshot wound in the ER." Thank you @TEDMED and @TEDTalks! ted.com/talks/thomas_abt_why…

This is fantastic!
We're eager to host a panel this Friday to discuss policing & social justice in Tampa, including @JaneCastor (Mayor of Tampa), Jeria Wilds (@sao13th chief of problem solving courts), our own @DrBryannaFox & @lfridell, @LeeBercaw (assistant chief of operations @TampaPD)...(1/2)
Very excited for this new semester and the chance to see all the Spruce Lab members! Welcome to the team new lab members! 😃
First lab meeting of the new semester! As of right now, our lab meetings are still virtual, but that also means we get to connect with lab members out-of-state! Welcome to our new lab members- Devin, Gloria, and Kiana- and we are happy to see familiar faces again, as well!
