• W221808669 abstract "DEADLY CONSEQUENCES By Deborah Prothrow-Stith, M.D., and Michaele Weissman. Harper Perinnial, a Division of Harper Collins Publishers, 10 East 53rd Street, New York, NY 10022. 1991, 269 pp., $12.00 (U.S.); $16.00 (Canada). I didn't want to like this book. Deadly Consequences, the story of how violence is destroying our teenage population and a plan to begin solving the problem, has a big, red handgun on the cover and the print is small. Books with big, red guns on the cover remind me of books or TV shows that commercially exploit violence in the name of public service. Shows with titles like Violence in America: The Youth Behind the Gun or Scared Straight make us frightened of kids--especially our neighbor's kids from the inner-city--and raise network ratings by sneaking yet a little more violence into prime time. Is it a coincidence that the very networks t-hat make it possible for us to view roughly 20,000 murders a year in the privacy of our homes are now rushing to put out documentaries on teen violence at the same time the U.S. Senate is beginning to investigate the effect on children of violence on TV? About Dr Prothrow-Stith I didn't need to worry. She is the former commissioner of public health for Massachusetts and is currently the assistant dean of the Harvard School of Public Health. She is on to the media--in fact she is on to most of us when it comes to our myths about violence in America and its effect upon our young. She lays into the media with quiet but devastating logic, but she also lays into those of us who think that changing the media is the simple answer or who think punishment is the simple answer or even who think banning guns is the simple answer. What she does--and very effectively--is lay into all of us who think that there is any one simple answer to violence. It takes a while and that is why the print is small. Dr. Prothrow-Stith is looking at violence prevention through the lens of public health. In so doing, she gives us a plan for national action to begin to work on the problem. It is not a simple plan. It involves multiple approaches. It is complicated. There may not be much political capital in it. And it just might work. In suggesting a multidisciplinary approach, Dr, Prothrow-Stith leads us carefully through data the way a public health statistician should. Treating homicide as a disease, she notes international rates for killings-per-100,000 for men 15 through 24 years of age: 0.3 for Austria, 0.5 for Japan; 1.2 for England; 1.4 for Switzerland; 3.7 for Israel--and 21.9 for the United States. For young African American males in this age bracket, the rate is 85.6. She gives statistics on handgun deaths and ownership. Then, just when you think she is going to ask us to ban that big, red gun on the cover, she reminds us that guns in Switzerland and Israel are even more accessible than here, yet their rates of homicide are many times less than ours. We must go deeper for causes and solutions. …" @default.
