Other Public Space Events

Holiday coverage of gun violence continues and touches on Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Parties, Weddings, Parades, and Basketball Games. These events provide readers with a common thread with other events covered earlier in the book in addition to introducing another set of events and occasions. These public events bring unique features as well as common features found in earlier chapters of this book. These events and the public spaces where they transpire get altered in dramatic ways with short- and long-term consequences for urban communities.
