The panel reviewed evidence on a wide
variety of interventions intended to reduce violence, including suicides and
homicides, in schools and in the workplace. It concluded that trying to predict
who will act out by profiling was unreliable, and that more systemic preventive
policies were far more effective.
The report offers a list of such policies,
including legal changes like tighter background checks on gun sales, and
programs in schools to teach nonviolent conflict resolution. The report also
sharply criticized the lack of government money to study firearm violence.
