We tend to think of tragedies as a single terrible moment, rather than the result of multiple bad decisions. Can this pattern be reversed? We try — with stories about wildfires, school shootings, and love.

What is it like to meet murderers on death row? What is it like to meet mass shooters (those who survived)? Their families and friends? What is it like to meet the families and friends of their victims? In this episode, Dr. Jillian Peterson takes us through the lives of mass shooters and tells us about some of the variables in their psychological journey from being a wee baby to becoming a mass murderer. She also shares warning signs - what mass shooters leak before they begin their killing rampage. And, of course, we talk about guns and mass shootings. Are the two connected? Well, let me say this - England and New Zealand banned many types of guns and mass shootings decreased dramatically! One of the factors that I found fascinating about mass shooters is their desire for fame or perhaps infamy. So that I won't spoil too much here, listen to Dr. Peterson talk about this factor and also be sure to visit the No Notoriety website, which was founded by the parents of a mass shooting victim. Dr. Peterson is a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Hamline University, where she is the Executive Director of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center. She is the co-author of Violence Project – How to Stop the Mass Shooting Epidemic, a book that we discuss in this episode.

America's Gun Violence - Resurrecting & Reinterpreting the 2nd Amendment: in this episode, Dr. Robert Spitzer tells the history of gun regulation in America, and how the NRA transformed itself from helping Congress regulate guns to opposing all gun regulations.

Our guest is Dr. Jillian Peterson, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, whose research engaged undergraduate students in creating the most comprehensive database of every mass shooter in America since 1966. With that research, Dr. Peterson has co-authored a book called The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic which offers more than 30 solutions on how we might approach the epidemic of violence in this country.
In this episode of The Optimistic American, Paul Johnson sits down with Dr. Emily Bashah to discuss gun control, mass shootings in the United States, and how we can use the data to prevent mass shootings from happening in the future. Paul and Emily start the conversation by describing how mass shootings, directly and indirectly, impact local communities. According to Emily, we need to understand how mass shooters think and operate - only then can we prevent more shootings from happening in the future. Emily breaks down what the data says about mass shooters. A study done in the 2021 book, The Violence Project: How to Stop A Mass Shooting Epidemic, compiled detailed data including the life history of 180 shooters. The data shows that nearly all mass shooters have a history of trauma and most mass shooters are suicidal and the hatred they have for themselves turns outward. Almost all mass shooters have one thing in common: they all want to die and don't care who they take with them. To solve the problem of mass shootings we have to be willing to look for answers that can work politically, be constitutional, and be effective. Some of the solutions being bantered about are ineffective if the data is correct. The solution will need both gun restrictions and mental health efforts. Paul and Emily agree that dedicating funds to community mental health efforts can help identify and potentially reduce the number of mass shooters. Especially on school campuses where the data helps us identify those people who are most at risk. Paul talks about gun laws that would effectively reduce the number of mass shootings in the US and those that will have little effect. Paul points out that while he isn't defending AR-15 sales,most of the shootings happen with hand guns, and if you banned AR-15's, there isn't evidence it would have stopped any of the mass shootings. It just would have happened with a different gun. Paul points out the type of gun laws that data shows works is the gun laws that keep guns out of the hands of people who commit the crimes, notably kids, people with a history of violence and those who are suicidal. This includes safe storage laws, red flag laws, and the ability to put restraining orders issued by a judge on people who have shown signs of being violent. Emily points out that at the scene of most mass shootings, there are usually many people with guns in the parking lot that didn't stop the shootings. We have to work on creating barriers before the incident. Paul and Emily agree that reducing the number of mass shootings is only possible if both gun laws are adopted that target the potentially dangerous individual and a focus on mental health. Emily points out the type of clues and hints mass shooters exhibit before attacking innocent civilians. Those clues can help us identify at risk individuals and save lives. Who is to blame for the increase in number of mass shooters? Emily believes it's everybody - from the government to the parents and everybody in contact with the mass shooters has to take responsibility to fix this massive problem.

On this episode of Raising Joy, we meet Dr. Jillian Peterson, founder of The Violence Project, a nonpartisan nonprofit that created the largest and most comprehensive database on the life histories of mass shooters. She is a forensic psychologist, professor of criminology and author of “The Violence Project – How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic.” Her work has helped school leaders, police departments and universities across the nation adopt realistic tools for violence prevention. Listen in to hear what Dr. Peterson learned about mass shooters in her research and what parents and caregivers can do to help prevent the next school shooting.
In the two years since George Floyd's murder and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota has seen a rise in both violent crime and renewed calls for police reform. Last year, violent crimes such like aggravated assault and murder were up 22 percent in Minnesota compared to 2020, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Voters are carrying their public safety concerns to the ballot box. Public safety is ranked the second-most-important issue for Minnesota voters as the November election approaches, after the economy and jobs. In the election for governor, public safety is the top issue for one in four Minnesotans, according to a September poll by MPR News, the Star Tribune and KARE 11. MPR News host Angela Davis talks about public safety and the role it might play as Minnesotans cast their ballots on Election Day. Guests: James Densley is a professor and chair of the department of criminal justice at the Brooklyn Park campus of Metropolitan State University. He has done research on criminal networks, violence, and policing and is the author of the book, “The Violence Project: How to Stop A Mass Shooting Epidemic.” Matthew Horace is the Chief Security Officer at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He has 28 years of law enforcement experience on the federal and local level, including time at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He's also the author of the book “The Black And The Blue: A Cop Reveals The Crimes, Racism and Injustice in America's Law Enforcement.” Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

For many years, criminologists Jillian Peterson, Ph.D., and James Densley, Ph.D., have studied mass shootings and the people who carry them out. One of the most jarring points made in their new book THE VIOLENCE PROJECT: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic is that most of those who commit mass shootings aren't monsters, but … Continue reading "Is it possible to stop a mass shooting epidemic?"
Mass shootings account for only 0.2% of firearm deaths in the US a year -- but their impact is large, deeply traumatizing survivors, their communities, and the country as a whole. How do we, as a nation, try to prevent these mass shootings? And what commonalities exist between not just these shootings, but the shooters themselves? To find out, host JJ is joined by Dr. Jillian Peterson of Hamline University and Dr. James Densley of Metropolitan State University, both authors of forthcoming book "the Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic" and co-founders and co-presidents of a nonpartisan, nonprofit research center of the same name (the Violence Project). Together they all discuss the Violence Projects' mass shooter database, which collates data about mass shooters life histories, psychological profiles, and first person accounts (while also practicing no notoriety) -- and how this data suggests better interventions against violence.
