This interdisciplinary anthology explores a wide range of
intersecting issues contributing to and arising from gun violence.
Millions of people are hurt and killed by gun violence globally,
and the traumatic realities of these events are navigated by
individuals and communities widely. In this context, gun violence
fundamentally threatens social functioning in significant ways, and
profoundly test the resilience of families. The resulting
transformations carry social, political, legal, and economic
implications for mothering, family dynamics, and community
engagement. This collaborative volume brings together diverse
perspectives intended to deconstruct perceptions, realities, risks,
and impacts of gun violence, as seen by researchers, educators,
community advocates, public health/health care experts,
criminologists, social workers, field-based practitioners, and
victims/survivors of gun violence. The distinct and broad range of
contributions in this volume critically unpacks representations,
stress and trauma, resilience, advocacy/activism, policymaking,
family functioning, social justice and equity, governmentality and
the criminal justice system, public health/health care, and
community programs/interventions. Ultimately, the work is a unique
contribution to the literature in which there is a lack of wide
academic consideration of gun violence and a demonstrably
unsatisfactory political response stretching back decades.
