Gun violence occurs in urban areas more than it does anywhere else,
and youth of color in these areas are disproportionately impacted
in the United States. How can we approach this? What can we do to
stop this from happening in the first place? In addition to trying
to bolster the barriers one must cross to acquire a gun, we must
also focus on the communities struggling with this abuse. In this
book, Melvin Delgado approaches this nationwide issue with a
specific focus on the victims: detailing the primary issues
surrounding gun violence, what social workers can do about it, and
why it is critical for those in the field to get involved. Delgado
identifies the current strategies used by social workers, providing
professionals with the tools necessary to identify key problems
before they escalate enough to lead to violence. He also discusses
ways to reshape the education social workers receive to make sure
they keep these racial injustices in mind in their approaches.
Self-help organizations can intervene and potentially reduce the
number of gun-related deaths that occur in cities nationwide, but
we too often do not look to them after a shooting. Urban Gun
Violence presents opportunities for improvement based on the work
done by urban self-help organizations in the past. Building off of
these organizations from across the US-from Louis D. Brown Peace
Institution in Boston to the Community Justice Reform Coalition in
San Francisco-Delgado illustrates how social workers can advocate
for minority communities impacted by this lethal weapon. With
chapters spanning everything from how people obtain guns-legally
and illegally-to lessons from the field, the book outlines the path
toward successful intervention.
