With all the talk about the recent Charleston murders, this is a great book on the horrific mass shooting in Norway a few years ago. In understanding why there seem to be so many of these events in the US as opposed to other places one thing stands out. The access to mental health care for younger people and assistance for families with troubled children. The individual responsible for this crime was diagnosed with issues from age 4. His single mother had access to such assistance. Unfortunately due to a domestic situation and her own mental issues she did not follow through with available treatment. Many potentially violent individuals, however, receive early treatment in these countries that they need to reduce the potential for such violence later on in life.
