"Braga and Cook make a compelling case for more focused, evidence-based, and accountable law enforcement to reduce gun violence and its enormous and disparate social costs. Importantly, they acknowledge harms from systemic inequities in policing and offer practical measures to reduce harmful practices while promoting collaborative problem-solving between police and impacted communities. Braga and Cook provide an incredibly comprehensive set of strategies that police can use to reduce gun violence, including shootings by police, and to be more responsive to what communities want and need from the police. This book is a must-read for any law enforcement leader committed to reducing gun violence in the communities they serve." -- Daniel W. Webster, Bloomberg Professor of American Health, Johns Hopkins University"Cook and Braga's seventy-plus years of deep research and policy experience concerning the shape and regulation of gun violence comes together in this clear-eyed and accessible book, which offers a sober and cogent account of an American public health scourge and what role police might play in addressing it. The authors make an especially strong case for enhanced policing to clear nonfatal shootings and to address illegal firearms trafficking-two areas too often misunderstood or overlooked." -- Tracey L. Meares, Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law, Yale Law School"America once again finds itself in the midst of a growing crime crisis with particular concern about gun violence and the resultant deaths and casualties, particularly in our inner cities. While the rates have not yet returned to the peak levels of the eighties and early nineties, that is little comfort to residents of violence-plagued neighborhoods. There is a great debate about how the police can be more effective in preventing gun violence while respecting individual rights. Braga and Cook, in my opinion, offer one of the most comprehensive reviews to date of the issue, and more importantly, provide realistic recommendations. Their well-researched effort has produced the right book at the right time." -- William J. Bratton, retired Commissioner of the New York City Police Department and retired Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department"In my two terms as mayor of Philadelphia, police reform was at the top of my agenda. The dual goal was always to enhance public safety while respecting citizen rights. Simply put, fair and effective policing, especially against the number one crime problemDLgun violenceDLis essential if a city is to flourish. In this book, Braga and Cook have provided an invaluable service, making the case for the preeminent role of the police in prevention, and providing evidence-based guidance on how they can better serve the public. The stakes are very high, and this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a way to reverse the current surge of gun injuries and deaths." -- Michael A.

Synopsis
In many U.S. cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. The police are the primary agency tasked with controlling gun violence, yet advocates for gun violence prevention either ignore the police or only reference them as a part of the problem. But in fact, more effective policing is key to the success of any comprehensive effort to reduce community gun violence. The stakes are high--gun violence is concentrated in low-income Black communities, and consequently these communities bear the brunt of the associated economic, social, and psychological burdens. Any successful strategy must overcome the current impasse where the residents of high-violence neighborhoods do not trust the police, having experienced both abuse and neglect in their dealings with officers. How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes that should remain on the public agenda--from widespread gun availability to poverty and racism--Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer., In many U.S. cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook identify the most beneficial evidence-based practices, offering a comprehensive guide for deploying the authority and considerable resources of the police to reduce gun violence.
