Seattle is once again debating how to confront gun violence. We break down the competing approaches from Councilmember Maritza Rivera and Mayor Katie Wilson, the research behind focused deterrence, Seattle’s proposed partnership with the National Network for Safe Communities, and the role of police, community intervention, youth services, and accountability.
The question is simple: Will Seattle’s strategy actually reduce shootings and make the city safer?
