A look at gun violence in NYC shows a concerning pattern when it comes to kids. Just this week, at least three NYPD investigations have linked guns to minors, and in some cases, they were arrested for violent crimes. TimMcNicholas reports.
"Do you have an indication why it's happening?" McNicholas asked Professor Jeffrey Butts, with the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.Butts points to the pandemic and its disruption of school, family incomes and mental health, all while gun purchases increased nationwide.
"So if you're walking around with a gun in your pocket, already feeling stressed and not normal, little things that you would set off a conflict could turn into a firearm conflict rather than just a fist fight," Butts said. Whatever is driving the violence, Butts and Caba, along with just about everyone else in the city, hope to see violent crime overall drop back to the historic lows of 2017 and '18.
