Connecting the Dots: An Overview of the Links Among Multiple Forms of Violence
July 2014
This brief is from the CDC
“The purpose of this brief is to share research on the connections between different forms of violence and describe how these connections affect communities. It is our hope that this information, combined with your own practical experience, will help practitioners like you to think strategically and creatively about how you can: 1. Prevent all types of violence from occurring in the first place. 2. Coordinate and integrate responses to violence in a way that recognizes these connections and considers the individual in the context of their home environment, neighborhood, and larger community.”
