How fixing abandoned homes can reduce gun violence
A recent study shows that gun violence in areas with long-disinvested homes is reduced when those homes are restored.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found a link between gun violence and abandoned homes. Researchers found that fully restored areas showed about a 13% decrease in gun assaults there.
Reset discusses with the leader of a group that works individually with at-risk individuals to reduce gun violence through coaching, workforce development and advocacy.
