Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence

We will discuss a book about gun violence, what causes most homicides, where they happen, and how acts of violence could be reduced in American cities.

Jens Ludwig is an economics professor, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab and a longtime researcher into the causes of violence.

In our discussion, we will focus on how Urban Atlanta’s cities could reduce gun violence and how other institutions could play a role.
