Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022 THE SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 14 It’s the Winner of the 2022 Minnesota Book Award “Using data from the writers’ groundbreaking research on mass shooters, including fi rst-person accounts from the perpetrators themselves, The Violence Project charts new pathways to prevention and innovative ways to stop the social contagion of violence. “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 fi rst comprehensive database of mass shooters. Their goal was to establish the root causes of mass shootings and fi gure out how to stop them. ”If you ever wondered how can we stop mass shootings, this is the book for you. By mixing compelling first-person interviews with mass shooters and signifi cant data analysis, The Violence Project illustrates the tangible ways we can intervene and prevent a tragedy from occurring. No one is helpless-read this book and help stop violence before it starts.” Rev. Beach says the book study meets on Wednesday evenings, from 7:30 — 8:30 East Coast Time, from Sept.7th through Oct. 5th For more information, contact The Rev.
