Recenzii

Mass shootings are not a new phenomenon, and there is a lot of research available; this work's value is that it compiles salient works into a single volume suitable for the general reader interested in an analytical treatment of mass shootings in the U.S.
This balanced volume effectively juxtaposes practical and theory-based solutions to the problem and includes opposing viewpoints. VERDICT An excellent starting point for student researchers and general readers on a topic that is front-page news on an all-too-frequent basis.
The reader is taken into an excellent introduction that quickly brings the novice up to speed with this topic. . . . A nice index and recommended readings area close out this excellent reference work. A great example of a chapter is in the expert Q&A section: 'Government Options to Stop School Shootings' by Dr. Lawrence Southwick, Jr. Eight pages cover several questions in a simple and easy-to-use format. Questions and conclusions are provided and an excellent list of references is available for those wishing to do more research.
