Here's a new book on 'gun violence' that seems not to emphasize the gun as much as the social issues. I haven't read it, just this column. I might try to read in the future. Looks interesting:

But in his new book Bleeding Out, criminal justice scholar Thomas Abt argues that it does not have to be this way. He presents a vision for dealing with urban violence by fundamentally rethinking how law enforcement and other government resources are used — a cost-effective solution that could save lives, while being more palatable to both political parties than sweeping gun control.
