Moving beyond gun politics -- The Gun Violence Problem -- Limit Access to Guns with Additional Legislation -- Improve the Enforcement of Gun Laws -- Implement Programs targeted at High-Risk Individuals -- Change the Environment to Change Behavior.
Summary:
"Solutions to gun violence must be as complex and layered as the problem. The traditional approach relies on gun laws and law enforcement. But these powerful tools have become entangled in a political tug-of-war. A newer, public health approach focuses on prevention and changing individuals and environments to reduce violence. This less controversial approach can reduce shootings, but it takes time. People living with the threat of violence need solutions now"-- Provided by publisher.
