The 1st Edition of the Handbook of Gun Violence provides an academic reference for examining firearm injury patterns and preventive strategies. Edited by Nicholas D. Thomson and published by Academic Press in 2024, this handbook assists specialists and advanced students in criminology, epidemiology, and psychology who require data-driven public health frameworks.

The volume organizes its thematic progression by moving from global statistical trends into individual risk mechanics. Readers examine biopsychosocial risk and protective factors that operate across youth and adult age groups. Following this theoretical baseline, the text evaluates structured, evidence-based intervention programs designed to mitigate firearm violence in distinct social environments.

A primary structural feature of this edition is the inclusion of research chapters prepared by scientists at the CDC and the NIH. This direct integration of governmental research perspectives helps scholars and safety practitioners connect empirical findings to active community prevention efforts.
