Ep 13. How to prevent school shootings with Stephen Dubner

First half of my uncut conversation with Stephen Dubner on Freakonomics Radio+ about school shootings, lessons from 9/11, and preventing more failures like Apalachee High.

Every school shooting—the latest at Apalachee High in Georgia—is the culmination of a long chain of failures as parents, police, and school officials all missed their chances to act on overt warnings. Could analyzing and studying the information within the K-12 School Shooting Database be the key to stopping them?
