The Gendered Dynamics of Gun Violence in Chicago By: Katelyn Jones & Julia Whiting
In October 2020, Chicago was headed toward an increase of at least 51 percent in the murder rate and a 52 percent increase in shootings by the end of the year, compared to 2019. The city’s advocates and social service providers projected that COVID-19 will also increase domestic violence, which is often referred to as the shadow pandemic. Researchers and policymakers are at a loss to explain the spike in homicides and gun violence in Chicago and other cities around the country, and thus cannot come up with clear suggestions on how to reduce these trends. |

WIIS Global is launching a cyber, technology, and security project intended to break down the complexity and nuance of the cyber world into byte-sized pieces.
To that end, to launch the cyber technology and security program, WIIS is compiling a resource packet, a comprehensive ‘study guide’, of original WIIS Blogs, WIIS Policy Briefs, and other forms of unique content from a myriad of sources such as Podcasts, Reports, Journal Articles, and more focusing on topics such as: Cyber Warfare, the Internet of Things, Big Data Issues, Military Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and more.
In order to create a comprehensive collection of resources, examples, and policy in these areas, WIIS invites its members, and members of the International Security community, to submit their original work to be published as a WIIS Blog or WIIS Policy Brief.
Additionally, if there are resources you would like to ensure are added into the WIIS Cybersecurity & Technology Study Guide for a specific topic, please submit those.
Blogs and other submission requirements must be submitted to Maeve Murphy ([email protected]). |
