The book looks at the nexus of public health with problems as varied as assaultive violence, child abuse, rape and sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, elder abuse, suicide, police violence, teenage bullying, workplace violence, firearm injuries, and opioid addiction. The authors lay out a structure for an epidemiological approach to studying violent crime and offer policy recommendations for using both criminal justice and public health approaches to prevent violence.
This volume spotlights the connections between violent crime and public health and urges a consideration of public health in efforts to prevent and control violent crime. It is ideal for courses on violence in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, and social work, and an invaluable tool for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, advocates, and community volunteers in criminal justice, public health, and social service.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
