Summary of Thomas Abt's Bleeding Out

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The cost of street violence in America is staggering. It involves, for the most part, young men killing or wounding other young men in tragic and brutal cycles of retribution.

#2 Urban violence is best understood as a grievous injury, a gushing wound that demands immediate attention in order to preserve life and limb. The treatments I propose address urban violence right now, without further delay.

#3 Urban violence is largely the domain of young men. It is typically committed with hands and feet, but firearms are the most frequently used weapon. It occurs in the course of other street crimes, such as robbery, but is often triggered by disputes or rivalries between groups known as gangs, cliques, sets, and crews.

#4 The most urgent and fundamental human need is to be secure, free from the dangers that might suddenly end our lives. We all need food, water, and air to survive, but we can live for roughly three weeks without food, three days without water, and three minutes without air.
