Violent crime rates are increasing again, driven by surges in many large American cities. Mass shootings attract the most attention, but far more people die in “everyday” attacks, killed by a family member, a gang rival or a stray bullet.

Our panelists will share reporting strategies they have used to illuminate the causes of violent crime, explore the factors that make it worse, and tell stories of how violence devastates families and communities. They will share tips on how to turn accountability stories on a crime beat, interview victims and perpetrators, and pry loose data that can provide the foundation for far-reaching investigations.
