Stop the Killing

BONUS 14 HOW FAR HAVE WE COME?

With Ken Bator 

As Katherine and Sarah work on Season 4 we will be dropping bonus episodes and this week we wanted to share an interview Sarah did with Ken Bator from Public Safety Talk Radio reflecting on how much she has learnt from working with Katherine over the last 3 seasons of the podcast. If you have listened from episode 1, we wonder if you can relate to just how much she has learnt?

Many thanks to Ken for sharing the files. You can check out more from Ken here

A TIDDLER OF A BONUS! 

S3 BONUS 12 

Today’s bonus episode is another installment of the interviews Katherine recorded at the Firearm Injury Research Conference at the end of 2022. 

Katherine talked to Justin Hatchimonji and Danielle R. Hatchimonji about their research below:

Trends in Youth Risk Behaviors and Firearm Injury in the US Over 20 Years: 

 For the first time in the US, firearm injuries are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents. Little is known about the correlation between youth risk behaviors and firearm injury. We hypothesized that high rates of risky behavior in high school students are associated with higher rates of firearm injury in this population. Methods: We obtained data from the Youth Behavior Risk Survey (YRBS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and combined it with data from the CDC Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) and CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) databases. Population and demographic data were obtained from the American Community Survey (ACS), 2001-2020. We examined trends over time using a nonparametric test for trend and assessed correlation between behaviors and injuries using linear regression. Results: The percentage of high school aged youth carrying a weapon in the preceding 30 days ranged from 13.2% in 2019 to 18.5% in 2005, without a statistically significant trend over time (p=0.051). Those carrying a weapon to school peaked at 6.5% in 2005 and steadily down-trended to 2.8% in 2019 (p=0.004). Fighting and the presence of drugs on school grounds also decreased over time. Conversely, firearm deaths among adolescents 14-18 years old showed no significant change, ranging from 4.0 per 100k in 2013 to 8.3 per 100k in 2020. Non-fatal shootings (26.0-47.1/100k) and total shootings (31.3-53.7/100k) also showed no change. There was no correlation between risky behaviors and these outcomes. Conclusion/Significance: Self-reported firearm carriage, school fighting and the presence of drugs on high school grounds in the US have steadily down-trended over time. However, shooting injuries and deaths have not. While the former suggests progress, the latter remains concerning. Further work to investigate the relationship between behavior and injury is needed.

S3E11

VTA SAN JOSE SHOOTING 

The San Jose, VTA shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on May 26, 2021, at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail yard in San Jose, California, United States. 

The shooter has been identified as a 57-year-old man who was an employee of the VTA. He opened fire at the VTA facilities around 6:30 am, killing 8 people and injuring several others before taking his own life. 

The circumstances surrounding the attack are harrowing, with people trapped with this 'grievance collector' killer in a conference room with one door in and one door out…..

 Some victims were spared .......others targeted.

S3E10 FBI - BEHIND THE (CRIME) SCENES

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a law enforcement agency like no other. It has a wide range of responsibilities, from investigating terrorist activity to fighting public corruption to providing law enforcement training. And while the FBI is often in the news for its high-profile cases, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. And communicating that to the press and public is a well honed craft.

In this episode, Former Assistant Communications Director of the FBI, Michael Kortan, joins Stop the Killing Podcast to share his highlights and lowlights in his 30 year career all condensed in a whistle stop 30 minutes! 

A career that as you might expect includes working on September 11 and the Oklahoma Bombing but it might surprise you to know that the FBI also has strong links with Hollywood….In fact you may want to listen and to this episode with a plate of “Fava beans and a nice Chianti!”
