- Description
This policy report refocuses our attention from why to how mass public shootings happen. Mass shootings are deconstructed into a series of stages and decisions and various opportunities for intervention are explored. The motivations, preparatory behaviors, execution, and conclusion of 318 mass public shootings in the United States between 1966 and 2017 are analyzed. Finally, potential policy solutions to exploit these opportunities for intervention are introduced.
