The Trace aims to expand its understanding of gun violence in America by creating a new list of recommended books and seeks reader contributions. Amid recent developments, including funding cuts for community violence intervention programs and a notable decline in police arrest rates related to fatal shootings of Black victims, the urgency for better context and awareness grows stronger in the national conversation on this critical issue.
Featuring works like Josiah Bates’ “In These Streets: Reporting From the Front Lines of Inner-City Gun Violence,” The Trace recognizes that there may be important publications overlooked in previous lists. By inviting readers to share their recommendations, The Trace is not only enriching its resource pool but also empowering individuals to participate in the discourse surrounding one of America’s most pressing social challenges.
