Restorative justice interventions can help address the harm created by gun violence, although few restorative justice programs focus solely on survivors or loved ones of victims of gun violence. Our aim was to assess how gun violence impacts those injured by firearms through qualitative analysis of their lived experiences.
From August 2022 to October 2023, we operated a program entitled Prescriptions for Repair in Durham, North Carolina, USA, which was supported by community groups, public government, and academia. Through a series of structured listening sessions using a restorative justice framework, trained community-based facilitators helped 30 participants (11 survivors of gun violence and 19 loved ones of victims of gun violence) tell their stories through a non-judgmental narrative process. We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of the listening sessions from 19 participants to define the major lessons learned from survivors of gun violence. We summarized participant responses into individual-level and community-level views on how to 'make things as right as possible'.
The lived experiences of gun violence survivors and their loved ones confirmed the inherent value of structured listening programs, how poverty, race and racism impact gun violence, and the need to focus resources on children and youth.
Listening to the survivors of gun violence through restorative justice programs can help address the personal and community harm resulting from gun violence.

恢复性司法干预有助于解决枪支暴力造成的伤害，尽管很少有恢复性司法项目仅关注枪支暴力受害者的幸存者或亲人。我们的目的是通过对枪支暴力受害者的生活经历进行定性分析，评估枪支暴力对他们的影响。
2022年8月至2023年10月，我们在美国北卡罗来纳州达勒姆开展了一个名为“修复处方”的项目，该项目得到了社区团体、公共政府和学术界的支持。通过一系列采用恢复性司法框架的结构化倾听会议，训练有素的社区调解人帮助30名参与者（11名枪支暴力幸存者和19名枪支暴力受害者的亲人）通过一个无评判的叙述过程讲述他们的故事。我们对19名参与者的倾听会议进行了定性主题分析，以确定从枪支暴力幸存者身上吸取的主要经验教训。我们将参与者的回答总结为关于如何“尽可能把事情做好”的个人层面和社区层面的观点。
枪支暴力幸存者及其亲人的生活经历证实了结构化倾听项目的内在价值、贫困、种族和种族主义如何影响枪支暴力，以及将资源集中在儿童和青少年身上的必要性。
通过恢复性司法项目倾听枪支暴力幸存者的声音有助于解决枪支暴力造成的个人和社区伤害。
