Description
Gia Barboza-Salerno, Sharefa Duhaney, and Hexin Yang study in 2024 gun violence exposure on walking routes to school in Englewood, Chicago. Pupils who walk may pass shooting sites each day, even when schools stay safe inside. Sound sensors let the team count shots near routes with care.
Shots clustered along streets near schools, counting the marked safe passage routes. On average, about one shot site lay within a five-minute walk, and far more within fifteen minutes, with afternoons worse than mornings. The authors urge a wider frame for school gun violence, one that covers the trip itself. Cutting route exposure could protect many young walkers.
