Professor Chin Comments on Theater Security for New Orleans Advocate
Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin commented for the New Orleans Advocate on the debate over security in movie theaters that has followed in the wake of a shooting in a Lafayette, Louisiana cineplex.
Chin said that as gun violence by lone shooters becomes more common, that is incentivizing companies and organizations like universities and municipalities to put practices in place to minimize safety risks.
"There's no question, whether it's malls or movie theaters or sports stadiums, when people get together in significant numbers, (owners) are going to have to take threats seriously and they're going to have to take reasonable care to protect their patrons," Chin said.
Gabriel "Jack" Chin, who joined the King Hall faculty in 2011, is a prolific and much-cited criminal and immigration law scholar whose work has addressed many of the most pressing social issues of our time.
