Criminologists tell 60 Minutes that dismissing school shooters as monsters can undermine prevention. "If you see it that way, there's really nothing we can do,” says Jillian Peterson, who has spent a decade studying hundreds of mass shootings. She argues this pushes communities toward hardened schools and active-shooter drills as primary solutions, rather than earlier intervention. But, she says, the typical shooter does not appear outwardly monstrous. “We have to start recognizing that the people who do this are people. And they could be somebody in your life,” says Peterson. “There's a lot of things that we can do, like from early childhood trauma screening, crisis intervention in schools, school-based mental health.” #schoolshootings #criminology #violenceprevention
