A new special issue on gun violence was just released by the Advances in Social Work journal. AISW is open access, so you can find all the articles at this link.
Abstract from the Editorial:
Firearm violence remains a critical and significant social problem in the United States, causing harm and distress across systems to victims, their families, and larger communities. This special section focused on manuscripts from social work scholars that could encapsulate the status of research on firearm violence within our discipline. In this introduction, we will describe the manuscripts we received, as well as discuss emerging themes in the broader firearm violence research community and the importance of social work scholars’ role in the literature and prevention efforts.
All articles in this Special Issue can be found here.
