"Ross provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the motivations behind school shootings, and a critical examination of responses to them. I appreciated her thorough analysis of SROs . . . As she points out, no proposed solution is a panacea, but it would be naive and inefficient to take a purely reactive approach, and it is important to reconsider policies that might cause more harm than good."
