"David Kennedy, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice [and Director of the NNSC], told me that he hopes Biden adopts a newer approach to violence prevention, focussing not on communities but on small numbers of individuals at the highest risk of being involved in gun violence. Such a program, applied nationally, could cut in half the gun violence that devastates America's minority communities, without doing the damage of traditional policing, Kennedy said."
