Injury is the leading cause of years of potential life lost in the
United States, and one third of all fatal injuries are a result of
intentional injuries or violence. Today, public health officials
have identified violence as comparable in importance and impact to
such previous epidemics as smallpox, tuberculosis, and syphilis.
This volume offers a landmark assessment of the problem of violence
from a public health perspective. Its aims is both to describe what
is known about violence in our society, and to lead the way towards
involving health professionals in both analysis and action. The
authors, all internationally known experts in their fields, examine
child, spouse, and elder abuse; sexual assault and rape; suicide;
assaultive violence; and homicide. To each topic they bring an
analysis of key issues in epidemiology, causal and risk factors,
outcomes, and interventions. This timely work will be a valuable
resource for public health professionals, criminologists,
sociologists, social workers, educators, and all those concerned
with violence in our communities.
