Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Gun violence occurs in urban areas more than it does anywhere else, and youth of color in these areas are disproportionately impacted in the United States. How can we approach this? What can we do to stop this from happening in the first place? In addition to trying to bolster the barriers one must cross to acquire a gun, we must also focus on the communities struggling with this abuse. In this book, Melvin Delgado approaches this nationwide issue with a specific focus on the victims: detailing the primary issues surrounding gun violence, what social workers can do about it, and why it is critical for those in the field to get involved.Delgado identifies the current strategies used by social workers, providing professionals with the tools necessary to identify key problems before they escalate enough to lead to violence. He also discusses ways to reshape the education social workers receive to make sure they keep these racial injustices in mind in their approaches. Self-help organizations can intervene and potentially reduce the number of gun-related deaths that occur in cities nationwide, but we too often do not look to them after a shooting. Urban Gun Violence presents opportunities for improvement based on the work done by urban self-help organizations in the past. Building off of these organizations from across the US--from Louis D. Brown Peace Institution in Boston to the Community Justice Reform Coalition in San Francisco--Delgado illustrates how social workers can advocate for minority communities impacted by this lethal weapon. With chapters spanning everything from how people obtain guns--legally and illegally--to lessons from the field, the book outlines the path toward successful intervention.

Recenzii
This book thoroughly reviews the abundant and depressing statistical evidence of the immense magnitude of the urban gun violence problem and its connections to homicides, accidental shootings, and suicides, sidestepping the problem of guns and domestic violence. Delgado also employs his immense knowledge of and expertise with self-help groups to illustrate many ways in which communities can marshal their human resources to mitigate urban gun violence. This clearly written book deserves a wide readership.
Delgado presents a comprehensive, thoughtful, and empowering analysis of the critical issue of gun violence in our urban communities. By holding up examples of community-based responses, he helps paint a picture that should be required reading for social workers, policymakers, and others interested in crafting solutions."
This book is an important read at a time when federal and state resources are expanding community violence intervention work; self-help groups may not be on the radar of government agencies or funding entities...The evidence Melvin marshals draws a critical reflection of how Black and Latinx lives are valued, and his analysis is an important contribution to scholarship and advocacy efforts to advance neighborhood safety.
