Things are different today
I hear every mother say
--Rolling Stones
How to achieve more peace on earth? Following Ron Paul's lead on less government intervention, I suspect that the single, most effective action that the federal government can do to reduce violent crime in the US is to withdraw from the 'war on drugs.' Do this and watch shootings et al decline.
If government still feels the need to be involved in drugs to some degree, then it might scrutinize the role of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) on violent crime. SSRIs are a common class of anti-depressent drugs made popular by blockbusters Prozac (LLY) and Zoloft (PFE). On the surface, the presence of SSRIs in school shootings as well as other violent crimes seems a compelling one.

The growth of drug-related crime is a far greater evil to society as a whole than drug taking. Even so, because we have been seduced by the idea that governments should legislate for our own good, very few people can see how dangerously absurd the present policy is.
~John Casey
I m studying violent crimes in USA and the the drug is one of this factor.
My opinion that to decrease the criminality we need a real strategy targeting factors that can impact the statistics. For example in decreasing poverty or in increasing graduate people . Immigrant and house boarded are important.
