The Violence Project’s data was featured in an article by Ira Israel about how we identify mass shooters before they start shooting. Israel highlighted the variables our database features, facts about school shooters from Dr. Jillian Peterson’s Ted Talk, and the commonality of mass shooters to experience childhood trauma.
“Doctors Peterson and Densley have all of the data necessary to predict the pre-conditions that correlate with school shooters; we need to start using this data immediately.”
