The RAND Corporation is sunsetting two major gun violence research initiatives as funding has shrunk under the Trump administration. Experts lamented the closures as a significant loss for policymakers, advocates, and researchers who have relied on the think tank’s work to prevent shootings.

Perceptions of crime are changing. Fewer than 50 percent of Americans told Gallup that crime rose nationally in the last year for the first time since 2001. Only 30 percent said crime rose locally, also the lowest since 2001.
