Mass violence
Red flag laws, allowing police or family members to petition a court to temporarily remove firearms from a person who presents a danger to themselves or others, would reduce the frequency or severity of mass violence.
Universal background checks, which would require almost all firearm sales in the US to go through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, would reduce the frequency or severity of mass violence.
Increasing the presence of armed security at schools and other public venues would reduce the frequency or severity of mass violence.
Our Mission
The Criminal Justice Expert Panel is composed of trusted experts on what works to improve the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Panelists are highly-respected academic social scientists from a variety of disciplines. What they have in common is their expertise in measuring the real-world effects of policies and programs on the outcomes that matter most. Our goal is to bring you their knowledge in a way that is timely, clear, and policy-relevant.
