Before you decide what you think

  1. When you read about domestic tragedies involving workplace or financial stress, what factors do you automatically assume played a role?
  2. How does your understanding of public safety change when violence occurs in commercial or open public areas rather than inside a home?
  3. In what ways do headlines that specify the employer or profession of a perpetrator shape your perception of the institution involved?
