In this new way, we are all Uncornered in our thinking.”波士顿的一个类似项目将这种方法描述为一个“被忽视”的过程对于陷入枪支暴力的个人和社区来说，这是一种心态的转变。社会影响评论2月的一篇文章指出：“Uncorned提供了资源的脚手架，让帮派成员能够帮助自己和他们所爱的人利用新的机会。”。它具有“更普遍的意义。大多数人不会认为帮派成员是一个解决方案，而是一个问题。以这种新的方式，我们的思维都是不和谐的。”Syracuse will need time to see if its plans many well-researched elements can work. For a nation caught in a debate about gun violence, the city is only the latest community charting a way out of the mental impasses of division and fear.雪城需要时间来看看其计划中许多经过充分研究的元素是否可行。对于一个陷入枪支暴力辩论的国家来说，这座城市只是最新一个走出分裂和恐惧心理困境的社区。学科网（北京）股份有限公司
