Nashville Shooter

Who should see a shooter’s journal? In Nashville, a leak heightens debate.: The Washington Post – Nov. 9

… Deciding whether publishing the information does more good than harm is a tricky balancing act, said Adam Lankford, a criminologist at The University of Alabama who has studied how media coverage affects future shooters. Having access to a killer’s writings, he said, helps researchers like him come up with better suggestions for how to protect people from mass shooters. “The entire country is really built on the understanding that you can’t rely on the government for innovation, so I think that’s the potential good of releasing information,” Lankford said. He said the risk is copycat killers and feeding into what the shooters want. “There’s the risk that you’re rewarding them by letting their ideas reach a large audience that they otherwise would never reach,” he said.
