  In "The Mind of Primitive Man," Boas delves into the diversity of human cultures, examining their languages, customs, beliefs, and social organizations. He emphasizes the fundamental equality of human capacities across all cultures, debunking theories of racial hierarchy prevalent in the early 20th century. Boas argues that cultural differences arise from environmental factors and historical contingencies rather than innate racial characteristics. His work laid the foundation for modern cultural anthropology, emphasizing the importance of fieldwork, empirical observation, and cultural relativism.

  Policing Gun Violence -...

  In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
   
   
   
  How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
   
   
   
  Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.
