Interview
Malcolm Gladwell on Policing in America, Assault Rifle Bans & New Book The American Way of Killing
Malcolm Gladwell discusses his book The American Way of Killing and argues that American cities are underpoliced, saying more officers could build community relationships and prevent violence instead of relying on aggressive enforcement. He also describes targeted homicide prevention in Baltimore and criticizes assault rifle bans as ineffective “gun control theater” that distracts from the broader causes of lethal violence.
