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
