Description
'Thomas Abt is a critical voice in our national discourse on crime and violence. His work bears the
crucial intellectual virtues of exhaustive research, conscientious study, and meticulously drawn
conclusions. Agree or disagree with him but by all means read him.'―Jelani Cobb, Ira A.
Lipman Professor of Journalism, Columbia Journalism School'A fine new book, Bleeding Out,
by Thomas Abt, sheds light on the issue of urban violence and offers some practical, street-tested
solutions to it...Abt's approach is, in the classic American manner, an empirical one...[He]
recommends neither noxious stop-and-frisk policies nor amorphous community policing but,
instead, what he calls 'partnership-oriented crime prevention'-using all of a city's resources.'―
Adam Gopnik, New Yorker'[Abt's] thinking breaks from political orthodoxy on both the left and the
right: The main reason violence is so persistent in the United States, he believes, isn't that gun
laws are too weak (a common argument among liberals) or that police critics have hamstrung
tough street-clearing tactics (an often-stated conservative belief). It's that not enough cities,
whatever their political leanings, are properly using basic strategies that are known to persuade
would-be shooters not to acquire guns, and not to use them on one another, in the first place.'―
Atlantic'[Abt] presents a vision for dealing with urban violence by fundamentally rethinking how
law enforcement and other government resources are used...Bleeding Out makes a compelling
case that there is a path forward.'―Vox'Bleeding Out fills an important gap in the emerging
criminal justice canon...For Abt, reducing the homicide rate is the first step toward achieving
broader social change...Bleeding Out makes a strong case that 'sustainable crime control does not
happen without social justice, and vice versa.''―New York Law Journal'Abt's book leans into
impact evaluations, interviews, and systematic reviews to build a framework for violence reduction
that is at once non-ideological and internally coherent...A thoughtful, research-driven examination
of some of the thorniest, most painful issues.'―The Crime Report'Focus on the violence itself,
separately from our endless political bickering...The immediate actions Abt counsels are not all
that expensive, and they are not all that partisan...They deserve strong support.'―National
Review'Abt skillfully mixes academic research, information about previously instituted pilot
programs, and interviews with families devastated by gun-related homicides to propose a multistep
solution that he believes will reduce gun deaths in cities across the country...A useful addition to
the necessarily growing literature on urban violence.'―Kirkus'Abt persuasively argues that as
much as poverty causes violence, violence also causes poverty-alleviating the former, therefore,
would not only save thousands of needlessly lost lives, but help reinvigorate some of America's
most benighted communities.'―Washington Free Beacon'Contrary to conventional wisdom and
popular culture, violence is not a permanent feature of urban life but a solvable problem, if you
leave your ideology at the door and look at data on what works. Thomas Abt is one of the world's
authorities on urban crime, and this fascinating and important book offers many surprises, much
insight, and positive recommendations.'―Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology,
Harvard University, and author ofThe Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence has

Government. Previously, he served as a policymaker in Barack Obama's Justice Department and
worked for New York governor Andrew Cuomo, overseeing all criminal justice and homeland
security agencies in the state. Abt lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Read more
