Social Contagion May Play Key Role In Gun Violence, Study Suggests.
STAT (1/3, Thielking) reports investigators “at Harvard and Yale have” used a “mathematical model to predict potential victims of gun violence in Chicago.” After examining “Chicago police data from 138,163 individuals who were arrested between 2006 and 2014, nearly 10,000 of whom were also victims of gun violence,” researchers found that “in 63 percent of the shootings they studied...social contagion played a key role.” Their study was published online Jan. 3 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
HealthDay (1/3, Mozes) reports that “social networks” are “acting as a breeding ground for the spread of gun exposure and violence,” the study findings suggest. Study author Ben Green, PhD, a doctoral candidate at Harvard Law School, said, “Those at the highest risk of gun violence are the individuals with the most associates who have recently been shot.”

It's reached Lord of the Flies levels. Genocide happening in front of our very eyes and a symptom of the moral and cultural rot seen in this country over the past fifty years.

"People associated with the most individuals recently shot"...
In other words gang members or their family caught in the crossfire.

But interestingly they didn't find a higher rate of gun violence or victimization of gun violence in hunters and firearm sports activists who used social networks to discuss firearms.
How bizzare!?!?!?!
Hint: It's not exposure to a gun that predicts gun violence. It is exposure to a violent culture and group of people.

It's odd that an Obama spokesman came on tv and said Isis would go away if they had good paying jobs. I guess in Chicago that strategy wouldn't work.
