Every year in the United States, more than 40,000 people die by some form of gun violence. Still more tragic, firearms are the leading cause of death among children nationwide. In this episode of the Advance Rutgers podcast, Michael Anestis, Ph.D. describes how the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center (GVRC) uses evidence-based research to address the causes and consequences of gun-related violence, as well as potential solutions to this epidemic. He explains why this research has been so difficult to conduct, what we’ve lost because of a lack of research, and how legal, safe gun ownership and use is critical to making us all safer.
