Gun violence is a disease. It should be treated and managed as a disease.
David Hemenway spoke on this at last year’s annual meeting of the Boston Chapter of the American Statistical Association. There are resources, as well as here. Statistics as a field began squarely within the bounds of Epidemiology. Surely, this is … Continue reading
