Research assistant perspectives on strategies to reduce the likelihood of experiencing vicarious trauma
A variety of strategies to prevent vicarious trauma among research assistants (RAs) exist in the literature, but there is limited evidence regarding which strategies RAs view as effective, especially in online environments. We surveyed 27 RAs who abstracted firearm violence data from court records and assessed their emotional supports outside of the study team, their engagement with the team’s vicarious trauma reduction strategies during the stud…
Arrests Among Extreme Risk Protection Order Respondents in Washington State
Extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) are civil restraining orders that aim to prevent firearm-related harm by temporarily separating firearms from people at high and imminent risk of harming themselves or others. We examined arrests for any crime, violent crimes, and firearm-related crimes among ERPO respondents over time in relation to the ERPO. This was a retrospective cohort study of all individuals issued an ERPO in Washington state from 12…
Variation in Extreme Risk Protection Order Use Among Urban, Suburban, and Rural ZIP Codes in Maryland
Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) are a tool used to temporarily remove access to firearms from those who may pose a risk of violence to themselves or others. Little research on ERPOs has examined variation in use of the law between urban and rural jurisdictions. Data abstracted from Maryland ERPO casefiles between October 2018 and June 2020 were paired with ZIP code-level Rural Area Commuting Area codes and American Community Survey populat…
Language justice in intimate partner firearm violence research
This article presents a flexible framework for integrating Language Justice (LJ) principles into trauma-informed, culturally responsive research methodologies within the context of intimate partner violence. We describe the implementation of LJ across the research lifecycle, including study design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination, using the Domestic Violence Restraining Order Study Assessing Firearm Restrictions as a case example. Wh…
Drunk and dangerous? Exploring the tenuous links among drunk driving, alcohol arrests, and firearm violence in an urban context
State efforts to enforce firearm dispossession through relinquishment laws
Our analysis revealed that many states still lack statutory elements that are expected to increase the likelihood of firearm dispossession, such as requiring the court to order relinquishment, strict standards for providing proof of firearm transfer or some form of compliance verification, and provisions that authorize law enforcement to recover unrelinquished firearms. The absence of such elements may facilitate unlawful firearm retention by tho…
Firearm Purchaser Licensing Laws and Firearm Deaths Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults
Research on firearm purchaser licensing laws has found population level reductions in firearm-related mortality. Limited research has been conducted specifically examining the impact of these laws among adolescents and emerging adults. We obtained death data from the National Center for Health Statistics from 1990 to 2019. We generated state-year rates of homicide and suicide, stratified by firearm involvement, for decedents aged 15 to 24. We str…
Effectiveness of Firearm Restriction, Background Checks, and Licensing Laws in Reducing Gun Violence
We present the rationale behind four types of laws that restrict access to firearms for those who are deemed to be a high risk for future gun violence and two types of laws that implement firearm purchase prohibitions. We also present evidence on the effectiveness of these laws. Broadly, these are laws that restrict access for domestic violence abusers, individuals convicted of misdemeanor violence, and individuals at high risk of violence agains…

Use of extreme risk protection orders to reduce gun violence in Oregon
Research Summary We examined petition and respondent characteristics from extreme risk protection order (ERPO) cases in Oregon for the 15 months after implementation ( n = 93). Most petitions were filed by law enforcement (65%) a were more likely to be granted than petitions filed by family/household members ( p < 0.001). Most ERPO respondents were reported by petitioners to have histories of suicidality (73%) or interpersonal violence (75%), wit…
Armed, Prohibited and Violent at Home
Firearms increase the risk of lethality in violent intimate relationships. Policies that restrict access to firearms by respondents to civil domestic violence protective orders (DVROs) are associated with reductions in intimate partner homicide, yet there is scant literature about how such prohibitions are implemented. We document how four localities are implementing gun possession prohibitions that result from civil and criminal restraining orde…
The Intersection of Firearms and Intimate Partner Homicide in 15 Nations
Intimate partners commit approximately one in three homicides against women worldwide. Little is known about situational factors that contribute to intimate partner homicides (IPH) and how they may differ across nations. This article provides a cross-national exploration of one situational factor, the use of firearms in the commission of homicides, and considers whether nations have laws designed specifically to keep firearms out of the hands of …
Removing Firearms From Those Prohibited From Possession by Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Under federal and many state laws, persons under domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) are prohibited from possession of firearms. Using multiple sources and a Lexis Nexis search, we developed a list of state laws pertaining to the relinquishment or removal of firearms from persons prohibited from possession by DVROs. After downloading the text of each law, we conducted a legal analysis to enumerate provisions of the laws specifying implem…
Potential to prevent mass shootings through domestic violence firearm restrictions
Research Summary We investigated the extent to which the 89 mass shooters who committed their acts from 2014 through 2017 were known or suspected to commit domestic violence prior to the shooting, whether they had been engaged in the justice system in a way that could have led to domestic violence firearm restrictions, and why they were either not legally or not successfully restricted from firearm access. A total of 28 mass shooters were suspect…
Modeling the Movement of Homicide by Type to Inform Public Health Prevention Efforts
Objectives. We modeled the spatiotemporal movement of hotspot clusters of homicide by motive in Newark, New Jersey, to investigate whether different homicide types have different patterns of clustering and movement. Methods. We obtained homicide data from the Newark Police Department Homicide Unit’s investigative files from 1997 through 2007 (n = 560). We geocoded the address at which each homicide victim was found and recorded the date of and th…
Pretty in Pink? Firearm Hazards for Domestic Violence Victims

Post-Separation Abuse of Women and their Children
Secondary Victimization of Abused Mothers by Family Court Mediators
Family court often assists divorcing parties in establishing custody arrangements. Mediation is commonly used for custody negotiation; however, its applicability for cases involving intimate partner abuse (IPA) is debated. This study was designed to gain an in-depth understanding of abused mothers’ court mediation experiences and how those experiences impact future court help-seeking when the fathers of their children have been abusive to them. M…
