Welcome to CJ Access

Greetings Everyone,

As we struggle to find a solution to reduce mass shootings, discussion runs a wide gamut of proposals from gun control, to target hardening, to mental health services but will any be truly effective? Perhaps the answer lies not in focusing on our gun culture and mental health services but on our culture at large and how we perceive society and community by taking a cue from the Philippines.  For July 2022 at criminaljusticeaccess.com, in Opinions and Editorials, be sure to check out “Are we missing the discussion of anomie and its role in mass shootings?”
