    Open AccessAlice M Ellyson, Julie Kafka et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice2026References: 72

    Federal law and many state laws prohibit certain individuals who are restrained by Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPO) from possessing or purchasing a firearm. In addition to reducing the risk of harm to individuals protected by these orders, these laws and their implementation may also help improve public safety. This study examined the impact of enhanced implementation of Washington state's law requiring firearm relinquishment by individ…

    Research summary To address firearm‐related harms in the context of domestic violence (DV), federal law prohibits firearm purchase or possession for respondents in qualifying civil domestic violence protection order (DVPO) cases.

Despite statutory guidelines about when to…

  • The association of alcohol use and heavy drinking with subsequent handgun carrying among youth from rural areas

    Open AccessAlice M Ellyson, Julia P Schleimer et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2024

    PURPOSE: Alcohol use and handgun carrying are more prevalent among youth in rural than urban areas and their association may be stronger among rural adolescents. Alcohol use may be modifiable with implications for reducing handgun carrying and firearm-related harm. We examined the association between lagged alcohol use and subsequent handgun carrying in rural areas and examined variation in the association by developmental stages, hypothesizing t…

  • Conceptualization of Firearm-Related Terms Among Rural Adolescents

    Open AccessElizabeth H Weybright, Ashley Hall et al.ARTICLEYouth & Society2024Cited by: 1References: 48

    Rural adolescents are at risk for firearm-related injury and death. In response, professional organizations have called for communication between adolescents, parents, and providers about firearms. A shared understanding of firearms between providers and families can facilitate effectiveness of health interventions. However, few studies engage adolescents in identifying their perception of common firearm terminology. The current study aimed to un…

  • Use of immigration status for coercive control in domestic violence protection orders

    Open AccessAisha Alsinai, Max Reygers et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2023References: 13

    In the context of domestic violence (DV), immigration-related circumstances can be exploited by an abuser to coerce and manipulate their partner. Using an intersectional structural framework, we examine how social structures overlaid with immigration-specific experiences operate to further enhance opportunities for abuse against immigrant women. We conducted a textual analysis to identify how socially constructed systems interact with a victim-su…
