USA: Hate Crimes is in Rising

Hate crimes are not an uncommon affair in different countries of the world but the United States as when it comes to hate crimes and gun massacres, the country is tragically exceptional. According to a study published recently, the country has more public mass shooting than in any other country in the world. Adam Lankford, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Alabama analyzed that, the United States has 5% of world’s population with 31% of all public mass shooting that is pretty high. In the time period of 1966 and 2012, there were 90 mass shooting happened that resulted in the death of more than 4 peoples including the shooters family members. The shootings happened in different places but the common spot for the mass shooting includes nightclubs, Schools, Crowded road, Churches etc.
Over years this mass shootings is happening and it has become a debatable issue indicating the unwillingness to address the causes and taking the preventive measures from government sides as no substantive remarks made to tackle this social problem that is becoming a security problem of the citizens.
After the Las Vegas massacre of last month, that considered as the countries 173 rd mass shooting of the year that resulted in 58 dead. And again last Sunday Texas Church attack by ex-air forces named Devin Patrick Kelley results in the death of 26 people. This is really a matter of concern for the security of the people of United States. According to an analysis by the Harvard School of Public Health and Northeastern University the attackers or mass shooters normally claimed as the mentally ill person most of the time but the estimated numbers of cases of mental illness has not gone up significantly while the number of mass shootings in the US has skyrocketed. The research showed that in the time period of 2011-2014, public attacks occurred every 64 days on average while during the previous 29 years the attacks happened every 200 days on average. Some researchers also believe that this mass killing is kind of contagious and increases the chances that after one shooting another attack will occur within about two weeks, like an infection that lasts about 13 days. And in recent two mass shooting massacres also proves this prediction.
