Professor John Pfaff was quoted in The Trace where he discusses the gun violence related crimes that prevail in Chicago.
“The absolute numbers are helpful putting it in a context that people understand, but with the rates, you get the true scope of the problem in the way it impacts people’s lives,” John Pfaff, a professor of law at Fordham Law School, tells The Trace. “People don’t care about the absolute numbers, they care about their risk, and the rates tell that risk.”
