"A rigorous Northwestern University
study of a quarter-century of data has found that economic insecurity is
related to the rate of gun violence at K-12 and postsecondary schools in the
United States. When it becomes more difficult for people coming out of school
to find jobs, the rate of gun violence at schools increases.
The interdisciplinary study by data
scientists Adam R. Pah and Luís Amaral and sociologist John L. Hagan reveals a
persistent connection over time between unemployment and the occurrence of
school shootings in the country as a whole, across various regions of the
country and within affected cities, including Chicago and New York City."
