520    Frustrated by reactionary policy conversations that never 
       seemed to convert into meaningful action, special 
       investigator and psychologist Jill Peterson and 
       sociologist James Densley built The Violence Project, the 
       first comprehensive database of mass shooters. Their goal 
       was to establish the root causes of mass shootings and 
       figure out how to stop them by examining hundreds of data 
       points in the life histories of more than 170 mass 
       shooters--from their childhood and adolescence to their 
       mental health and motives. They've also interviewed the 
       living perpetrators of mass shootings and people who knew 
       them, shooting survivors, victims' families, first 
       responders, and leading experts to gain a comprehensive 
       firsthand understanding of the real stories behind them, 
       rather than the sensationalized media narratives that too 
       often prevail. For the first time, instead of offering 
       thoughts and prayers for the victims of these crimes, 
       Peterson and Densley share their data-driven solutions for
       exactly what we must do, at the individual level, in our 
       communities, and as a country, to put an end to these 
       tragedies that have defined our modern era.
