Rachel Locke, director of the University of San Diego's Violence, Inequality and Power (VIP) Lab, returned to "At the Edge of It All" to discuss her research, done in partnership with Carl Luna and the Institute for Civil Civic Engagement (ICCE), examining threats and harassment against elected officials in San Diego. Those officials range from the mayor and county supervisors to school board officials. Aggression, Locke says, cuts across party lines, and her research shows it's having a demonstrable impact.
