SSJR Research Seminar: Risks and Consequences of Community Gun Violence Exposure
About this Event
The SSJR is pleased to host Dr. Daniel Semenza, Director of Interpersonal Violence Research at New Jersey’s Gun Violence Research Center (GVRC). The GVRC is among the first state funded research centers in the United States that conducts interdisciplinary research on the causes, consequences, and solutions to gun-related violence, while respecting the rights of legal, safe gun ownership, and use. The GVRC research foci includes projects examining the individual, community, and societal consequences of gun violence; prevention and treatment of gun violence; and the effectiveness of existing laws and policies intended to reduce gun violence.
Dr. Semenza will discuss recent and ongoing center efforts, alongside his research on the connections between health, criminal justice exposure, and violent victimization.
