DESCRIPTION:The UTC Graduate School is pleased to announce that Katlyn Whit
 tenburg will present Master's research titled\, Click\, Click\, Boom: A Mu
 lti-Level Analysis of Repeat Firearm Offending in Chattanooga\, Tennessee 
 on 02/19/2024 at 9:00am in 540 McCallie Room 461. Everyone is invited to a
 ttend. \n\nCriminal Justice\n\nChair: Rick Dierenfeldt\n\nCo-Chair: \n\nAb
 stract:\n\nCriminologists have long noted the exacerbated rates of firearm
 -related offending in the United States in comparison to other developed n
 ations. There has been a renewed focus on gun crime in the wake of a recen
 t dramatic reversal of the long-trending decrease in firearm-related viole
 nce. Although they provide valuable insights\, explorations of the factors
  that contribute to firearm offending are often restricted to large metro 
 areas like Chicago\, New York City\, and Philadelphia—which may have lim
 ited generalizability to more common small and medium sized cities in the 
 United States. This study attempts to address this concern through examina
 tion of the factors that contribute to firearm re-offending among arrestee
 s in Chattanooga\, Tennessee. Specifically\, multi-level analysis is used 
 to explore the relative influence of neighborhood conditions\, arrestee de
 mographics\, gang involvement\, and offense characteristics on the odds of
  repeat firearm offending among a sample of individuals arrested for gun c
 rimes committed between 1/1/21 and 4/30/23 (n = 937).
