Abstract

This article proposes potential strategies to address gun violence in communities of color while identifying the harms associated with a policing-centered, criminal legal approach. In addition to highlighting the dangers associated with the United States' current criminal legal tactics to reduce gun violence in these communities, the authors advocate for community-endorsed strategies that give those impacted by this issue the resources to take on gun violence in their own communities. Specifically, they identify, describe, and endorse a series of violence prevention programs that rely on community relations to detect and prevent incidents of gun violence and that view gun violence as a public health rather than criminal legal issue.

摘要

本文提出了一些潜在的策略，以解决有色人种社区的枪支暴力问题，同时指出了以警察为中心、刑事法律方法的危害。除了强调美国目前通过刑事法律策略来减少这些社区枪支暴力的危险，作者还主张采取社区认可的策略，为受这一问题影响的人提供资源，以便在自己的社区中应对枪支暴力。具体来说，他们确定、描述和认可了一系列依赖社区关系来发现和预防枪支暴力事件的预防暴力方案，并将枪支暴力视为公共卫生问题而非刑事法律问题。
