Register and join us for an enlightening virtual event, absolutely free of charge! Tune in to hear from over 20 esteemed researchers and community members as they discuss evidence-based, equitable policies and programs aimed at preventing gun violence in our communities.

UConn ARMS is delighted to launch our “On Target” virtual seminar.  This seminar is for anyone interested in gun injury prevention research.  We hope to offer a wide variety of seminars from any and all disciplines seeking to reduce gun injury.

When evaluating gun policies, what other factors do the researchers take into account in their analysis? This new scoping review provides information about the choice of confounders in gun policy research in the health sciences literature: doi.org/10.1093/aje/kw…

So excited to sharing this work! RSVP info in 🧵. Let UConn’s ARMS Center know if you have GVP research you’d like to share. Can be a finished product or in progress (like mine!)

As my colleagues Sonali Rajan, Charlie Branas, and I noted after the tragic massacre in Uvalde, there are at least 5 legislative measures we can take to reduce gun violence, in general, and mass shootings (especially school shootings), in particular. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Armed officers are a reactive strategy. Research does not show them effective in preventing shootings in school. thetrace.org/2023/08/guns-a…

Help Them Stay Connected ❤️ Studies indicate that helping someone at risk create a network of resources and individuals for support and safety can help them take positive action and reduce feelings of hopelessness. 988lifeline.org/promote-nation…

In my policy classes, I argue that the absence of policy is a policy choice. And that's what we have in so many states (like Georgia) that opt against protecting children from firearm violence. My latest op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution w/ Jenn Necci Dineen. ajc.com/opinion/opinio…

A criminal justice response is vital, but it cannot be our only response. Gun laws need an overhaul...Should elected officials fail to act (again), we think it is also fair to hold them responsible for the firearm violence killing our nation’s children. With Kerri Raissian
