    Guns with inscriptions are symbols of violent ideology rather than tools for utility. School shooters and mass shooters frequently write messages on their weapons. A fixation on guns as a symbol of identity and power is a red flag for mass violence.

    Guest: Jack Anderson, expert in insurance, risk, catastrophe, and security

    Peer-reviewed paper: The Fortress Problem

    When they rely on robustness or complication, positions of strength are only tolerant of stress up to a defined point or of a certain character. For a fortification that fails to adapt, centralization—even of strength—presents a surprising liability. Fortresses concentrate risk.

    A grand design for security will not produce grand security. Security requires fewer scripted plans and more improvisation, more diversity, less uniformity, less training with partners, and more learning to work with strangers.

  • This is not a “real” podcast in the traditional sense of the word. Google has a new AI tool called Notebook LM creates podcasts from text articles. I didn’t write the script. The voices you hear are completely generated by Google’s language models.

    The botcast is based on my article: School Shootings: Issue Attention Cycle & Law of Unintended Consequences

    My article argues that the public's attention to school shootings is a cyclical pattern: intense focus in the immediate aftermath of an event, followed by a decline in interest. This cycle often leads to hastily implemented policies that fail to address the issue effectively and can even have unintended negative consequences.

  • Host: David Riedman, creator of the K-12 School Shooting Database

    Guest: Dr. Brian Williams, author of “The Bodies Keep Coming: Dispatches from a Black Trauma Surgeon on Racism, Violence, and How We Heal”

    As a Harvard-trained physician, Williams learned to keep his head down and his scalpel ready. As a Black man, he learned to swallow the rage when patients told him to take out the trash. Just days after the tragic police shootings of two Black men, Williams tried to save the lives of police officers shot in Dallas in the deadliest incident for US law enforcement since 9/11. Thrust into the spotlight in a nation that loves feel-good stories about heroism more than hard truths about racism, Williams came to rethink everything he thought he knew about medicine, injustice, and what true healing looks like.

    During this episode we discussed:

    * Preventing gun violence at every level (home, community, local government, state government, and federal policy).

    * Progress already made to reduce gun injuries and deaths including targeted violence, indiscriminate shootings, domestic violence, suicides, and accidents.

    * What Dr. Williams would do if/when he is appointed Surgeon General of the United States.

    * Importance of voting in state and local elections because laws requiring safe storage of firearms, gun permits and safety training, background checks, waiting periods, and allowing/prohibiting people from carrying guns in public places or having loaded guns inside vehicles have profound impacts on the rate of gun violence in a community.

    * A true American patriot who wants to protect their family and community should be storing every gun they own inside a locked safe at all times.

  • Host: Mother of It All parenting podcast (Miranda Rake and Sarah Wheeler)

    Guest: Me (David Riedman)

    No one wants to think about school shootings. But nearly every day in our country, a gun is fired on a campus. Often, when that happens, entire student bodies are then traumatized by spending hours in lockdown. David Riedman of the K-12 school shooting database — an unparalleled collection of data about school shootings that has been used as a resource by publications like The Economist and New York Times, as well as organizations like the FBI— joins Sarah and Miranda to talk about the thing none of us want to talk about but that we absolutely must: American school’s gun violence problem.

  • This is not a “real” podcast in the traditional sense of the word. Google has a new Artificial Intelligence tool called Notebook LM that allows users to feed it written data, which it will then turn into a podcast. The voices you hear are completely generated by Google’s language models.

    I created the content that went into this ‘podcast’ (see: School Shooting Data Analysis and Reports), but I didn’t decide what the key points or topics would be. This is worth listening to because the AI hosts do a good job of summarizing ~25,000 words from a dozen different articles. It’s also mind blowing how natural most of the conversation sounds. There aren’t any hallucinations where the AI makes up info because everything comes from my writing.

  • By several measures, 2024 is on course to be one of the worst ever in terms of gun violence on school campuses. My guest this episode to discuss these tragic incidents is David Riedman. David is the founder of the K-12 School Shooting Database, arguably the most complete accounting of school shootings in the United States. As you will hear, David's own analysis of the data has revealed some chilling findings that suggest that many schools’ prevention efforts and active shooter plans are, at best, inadequate and ill-informed, and, at worst, making students more vulnerable.

    Talking About Kids is a weekly podcast for parents, educators, and direct service providers that explores the latest information on issues impacting children and adolescents, from preventing bullying to unlocking creativity. Hosted by me - R. Bradley Snyder, author of The 5 Simple Truths of Raising Kids - each episode presents a new topic and introduces listeners to authors, academics, and visionaries from around the globe.

  • Host: David Riedman, founder of the K-12 School Shooting Database

    Guest: Dr. Tahir Rahman, Forensic Psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis.

    Book: Extreme Overvalued Beliefs: Clinical and Forensic Psychiatric Dimensions

    Article: School Shooters: Recognizing Extreme Overvalued Beliefs (Forensic Psychology). Non-delusional, rigidly held beliefs motivate most school shooters.

    Key points:

    * School shooters are driven by ideology not severe mental illness.

    * Lockdown drills are ‘dress rehearsals’ where a vulnerable student with extreme overvalued beliefs gets to experience what committing a school shooting would be like.

    * School shootings are rooted in ideologies—extreme overvalued beliefs—that promote hate and violence. Children need to be taught about radicalization to avoid it and the Body Project for eating disorder education is a model.

    * Peer education and student involvement in interventions is essential to identify a student who is becoming radicalized and fixating on extreme overvalued beliefs.

    * Policymakers and federal officials need to identify and eliminate the online communities that allow children and teens to engage with violent, fringe sub-cultures (e.g., private Discord groups dedicated to school shootings).

  • The 14-year-old kid was not a monster until the second that he pulled the trigger inside Apalachee High killing 2 classmates, 2 teachers, and wounding at least 9 others. For at least a year prior to the attack, this kid cried for help and was ignored by police, teachers, school administrators, community members, and his own family. Committing a school shooting is a final act of violent public suicide when a kid feels like society has forgotten him (or her) and there is no other option.

    These are not excuses that justify a school shooting. To prevent the next attack, we need to understand why they happen and take meaningful action to stop them.
