The Invention of an Epidemic

In Malcolm’s new book, The American Way of Killing, he investigates why gun violence in the United States is so much worse than every other country in the West. Today, we’re sharing a chapter from the audiobook and over the next four weeks we’ll air episodes about the gun violence epidemic in America. Later in the series, Revisionist History looks at how Baltimore turned its homicide problem around, and why it took so long.
