TAILIEUCHUNG - Toward a Research Agenda for the Rochester Shooting Database

The theme of this talk is that we live in a time of extreme change. It is an exciting time; essentially everything all design assump- tions are being re-evaluated. There are research challenges eve- rywhere. There are no small challenges in this list of revolutions. Yet, I think our biggest challenge is a unification of approximate and exact reasoning.

These data often produce samples that have too few shooting victims to allow for the separate consideration of shootings and are unable to provide characteristics of shooting offenders victims or situations.
