Ran across a story by Sheen Magazine recently that’s worth a look, even if it’s from a different perspective than what we usually see here.
Psychology/cultural expert Joey Florez briefly chatted with one of the world's top researchers in social work, Dr. Dexter Voisin, about the ongoing public health crisis in Chicago, Illinois pertaining to their notorious domestic gun violence problem. While Dr. Voisin talks a lot about structural issues, he confirms what many of us already know: the violence in places like Illinois isn’t about legal owners or hunting rifles—it’s a deep-seated community crisis.
It’s interesting to see the other side admit that the current policies in these urban areas aren't working, even if their solutions differ from ours. If you want to see how the academic world is framing the gun debate in 2025 and beyond, this is a quick read on where they’re headed.
What yall think? Is the structural violence argument just another way to dodge the real issue of enforcement, or is there more to it?
