American Violence

Twitter: Patrick Sharkey, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton, has announced that americanviolence.org is back live. The site was originally supported by NYU Marron with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is “designed to be a public resource that will make data on violence accessible to public officials, journalists, researchers, and the public at large, allowing users to visualize and analyze trends in violence at multiple geographic levels (neighborhoods and cities) and over different timeframes (month to month, year to year, decade to decade).”
