| Each year, many people are affected by violence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that in 2001 there were over 29,000 fire-arm related deaths, over 20,000 homicides, and more than two million nonfatal violence-related injuries in the United States. Presentations in this session address both fatal and nonfatal violent events and examine factors related to victims and perpetrators of violent events. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Describe the effect of neighborhood disorder, and its characteristics, on the risk of firearm injury. List ways it might be possible for municipal advisory committees to reduce the likelihood of gun-related homicide in their community. Discuss how the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) contributes to our knowledge of violent deaths. Identify developmental assets that act as protective factors for violent perpetration among urban girls. | |||
