Rutgers’ New Jersey Center of Gun Violence Research has announced eight studies on gun violence and prevention to be led by University faculty, according to a press release.
The research will look into when and why people carry guns and how they are perceived, how built environments can mitigate and prevent gun violence, the causes of gun violence in different demographic groups and strategies to reduce gun violence.
It also covers the correlation between homicide rates and the level of access to legal firearm dealers, how state spending in mental health is correlated to reductions in violent crime rates.
An FBI database to analyze factors that influence the number of police fatalities, how the prevalence of gun violence impacts a person’s reaction to threatening stimuli and an evaluation into the white supremacist event in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, will also be included, according to the release.

Hos gonna tell us how it’s done.
re: “Rutgers announces eight new studies on gun violence”
As contrasted against what - homicides via motor vehicles or knives?
Will the environment and stifling laws in Chicago be considered?
I am still suggestimg a murder free zone sign.
They’ve decided on conclusions already, now they just need to design studies, methodology and the like, to support the conclusions...
Well how can you challenge this, since it’s being created by today’s substitutes for God.
Who are folks going to believe, the truth or the spin these folks concoct?
“They’ve decided on conclusions already, now they just need to design studies, methodology and the like, to support the conclusions...”
Exactly!
for when 5 new studies just isn't enough
I hope they contact me.
Guns, as inanimate objects, physically and literally lack the capability to be violent.
As long as “gun violence” includes suicides, the starting assumption, numbers and corresponding conclusions are FALSE
the causes of gun violence in different demographic groups and strategies to reduce gun violence....
Their answer will be disarm law abiding middle aged white males.
“studies on gun violence”
Excluding all other means of violence, and gun non-violence.
“It also covers the correlation between homicide rates and the level of access to legal firearm dealers,”
Once they focus on that part of the Venn Diagram limited to violence using guns, but not other means, they discover that it shrinks when access to guns is limited. In other words, people are less likely to use a gun to commit violence when they don’t have a gun. Astonishing!
This is payback for Rutgers that was originally baked into Murphy’s election campaign platform. Everyone that lives here knows what this is. It’s a payoff with big public money for Rutgers.
Only firearms count. Or something.
“Their organization has tried to combat campaign funding by the National Rifle Association (NRA), which gives to pro-gun control candidates across the country, including in New Jersey.”
Really?
Wonder if any of the Kent State troops are still available for more target practice...
We can all pretend it's "the poison" that's the problem - not the criminal behind the poisoning... wouldn't that be silly and timely? So 'woke'...
