Researchers Jillian Turanovic and Kristin Lloyd from The Conversation have explored how fear of mass shootings affects policy views among young Americans. The findings indicate that despite a shared fear, this group does not share uniform policy opinions.
This study involves nearly 50 million Americans aged 18 to 29, who are eligible to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Approximately 60% of these young adults have expressed their intention to vote, which, if realized, would set a new record for midterm election turnout among voters under 30.
The Conversation is a nonprofit news organization that provides analyses from researchers and scientists to help the public understand complex issues. Turanovic and Lloyd’s work contributes to understanding how shared fears might not necessarily result in consensus on policy actions related to gun violence.
