Firearm injury survivors often face significant physical, mental, and logistical challenges following their injury, yet research on their healthcare needs remains limited.

The project emerged from a collaboration between university researchers and community-based violence prevention specialis…
Identifying Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Approaches: A Grey Literature Scoping Review
Community violence interventions (CVI) encompass a range of strategies aimed at reducing community firearm violence among those most affected. While CVI is an umbrella term, specific CVI approaches across the United States differ markedly in their underlying theoretical frameworks, specific program activities, and populations served. These different CVI approaches have not been well defined or uniformly understood. Given unprecedented financial s…

A social problem analysis of the 1993 Brady Act and the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act

Summative content analysis was used to explore how the social problem of firearm violence was outlined in both policies, with the goal of extracting the social issue’s definition from the policies’ approaches to solving it. Both policies do not outline the various typ…

However, there remains a need to fully explore the role of fear related to the experience of gun violence. Throu…
I am a survivor!”: Violently Injured Black Men’s Perceptions of Labeling After a Violent Firearm Injury
Self-appraisal after a life-altering event is a critical process for individuals, often comprised by assigned labels that may not align with an individuals' perceptions of themselves or of their situation. Existing research within this victim-survivor dichotomy largely rests in the interpersonal violence space, with a victim assuming legal recourse and wrongdoing, and a survivor associating with positive personal characteristics like grit and res…
Physical and Digital Placemaking in a Public Art Initiative in Camden, NJ
The process of placemaking entails the use of physical and digital representations of place. An understudied element of these representations is how users' agency and interaction with physical and digital placemaking contributes to sense of place within a community. This research uses A New View - Camden, New Jersey (ANV) public art initiative as a case study to analyze how digital representation of space contributes to sense of place among commu…
