"So the tangle of pathology, as it has been called, tends to be self-perpetuating.
No one has come up with a way to untangle it that is practically plausible and politically salable. More police would help. So would ending the drug war. Better schools hold some promise. Economic development is indispensable. Neglect will only make things worse."
I call this balanced because it doesn't use the useless term "gun violence".
