Quote from Published Foreword: “In summary, the Handbook of Gun Violence is much more than a compilation of research findings and theoretical insights; it serves as a light guiding the path toward understanding, preventing, and ultimately reducing gun violence. Through these pages, the reader is exposed to a multifaceted landscape of gun violence, equipped with a deeper comprehension of its root causes, affected populations, and the pervasive impact on societies worldwide. This handbook marks a pivotal step in rallying researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and communities to join forces in a multidisciplinary effort to address gun violence. By casting a wide net over the complexities of this issue, it challenges the status quo, provides innovative approaches, and forges new pathways that lead to safer and more resilient communities. Through collaborative exploration, rigorous research, and unwavering dedication to public health and safety, the Handbook of Gun Violence aspires to turn the tide against gun violence, crafting a legacy of peace and security for future generations. I am glad to have it as a resource on my bookshelf.” -- Brad J.
