Before the Next Shot: Inside the New Fight Against Terrorism and Gun Violence
What keeps you up at night? This panel will explore two of the biggest threats to our safety: terrorism and gun violence. Richard Aborn is the President of the Citizen’s Crime Commission, an organization which advances strategies to improve the justice system, strengthen gun policies and practices, prevent youth gun violence, and prevent cybercrime.
In his conversation with Joe Giacalone, former Sergeant with the NYPD, they will examine new approaches to reducing acts of terrorism, extreme violence, and hate fueled violence. Advances in technology are reshaping the way authorities identify and stop potential threats before violence occurs, especially in New York City.
This panel will also explore breaking the deadlock on guns, a new approach to firearms policy focused on innovative and risk-based strategies aimed at balancing public safety with constitutional considerations. Through discussion of policy, practice, and real world case studies, the panel highlights how new thinking across multiple disciplines may shape the next generation of violence prevention.
