skydevåben på undervisningsinstitutioner, så som
skoler og universiteter, specielt i
USA.
Skoleskyderierne kommer for alvor i medierne med massakren på Columbine High School i

- Mass Shootings and Public Support for Gun Control. / :
Benjamin J. Newman and Todd K. Hartman B.J.Pol.S., Cambridge
University Press, 2017. The recent spate of mass public shootings
in the United States raises important questions about how these
tragic events might impact mass opinion and public policy.
Integrating research on focusing events, contextual effects and
perceived threat, this article stipulates that residing near a mass
shooting should increase support for gun control by making the
threat of gun violence more salient. Drawing upon multiple data
sources on mass public shootings paired with large-N survey data,
it demonstrates that increased proximity to a mass shooting is
associated with heightened public support for stricter gun control.
Importantly, the results show that this effect does not vary by
partisanship, but does vary as a function of salience-related event
factors, such as repetition, magnitude and recency. Critically, the
core result is replicated using panel data. Together, these results
suggest a process of context-driven policy feedback between
existing gun laws, egregious gun violence and demand for policy
change.

This study examined 64 school shooters who committed multivictim
attacks in the United States during the years 1966 through 2015.
Results include demographic analysis of age, venues of attack,
racial/ethnic identity, magnitude of attacks, and frequency of
perpetrator suicide. Data is provided for the sample as a whole, as
well as for different time periods to highlight trends over time.
Notable results include numerous changes in post- Columbine
attacks, including greater age range of perpetrators, more
perpetrators who are not white males, increased fatalities, and
increased suicide rates.
Unges kamp for våbenkontrol er nået helt ud i USA's
ærkekonservative bagland : Efter massedrabet på et
gymnasium i Florida i februar er en national bevægelse af
skoleelever vokset frem. Den planlægger at få en ny
generation af vælgere til at stemme på tilhængere
af øget kontrol med våbensalg ved midtvejsvalget til
Kongressen i november. Også i konservative delstater er unge
begyndt at tage et opgør med våbenkulturen. / : Martin
