David Riedman, Founder and Independent Researcher of the K-12 School Shooting Database, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to peel back the layers of the challenges of predicting and preventing school shootings. One significant step is to collect data and fill in the missing pieces to get a better sense of who is most at risk of being involved in a school shooting and actions that can be taken to protect students and staff.
Deepak and David talk about:
- Differences between mass shootings and school shootings
- Getting a holistic picture of gun violence on school properties and imaging possible scenarios
- Understanding the drivers that lead to school shootings
- Danger of swatting calls to report false threats of school shootings
- Lessons learned from counter-terrorism to reduce school shootings
