Conversation with Democracy Labs on analyzing data from sixty years of school shootings

Excerpt from the Digital Politics weekly podcast

On the Digital Politics weekly podcast, I was interviewed by Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs.

We talked about:

  • Differences between mass shootings in public places and school shootings

  • Capturing data to show a holistic picture of gun violence on school property

  • Understanding the drivers that lead to school shootings

  • Danger of swatting hoaxes that falsely report a school shooting in progress

  • How school shootings are different from terrorism


David Riedman is the creator of the K-12 School Shooting Database and a national expert on school shootings. Listen to my recent interviews on Freakonomics Radio, New England Journal of Medicine, and Iowa Public Radio the day after the Perry High shooting.
