The California Firearm Violence Research Center’s mission is to conduct basic, translational and transformative research that provides sound scientific evidence on the nature, causes, consequences and prevention of firearm violence; to disseminate that evidence and promote the adoption of evidence-based firearm violence prevention measures; and to expand and extend such efforts through education and training in firearm violence research and its applications. Director Dr. Garen Wintemute will offer a brief review of the latest research on firearm violence and political violence with recommendations for prevention.
