The Violence Prevention Research Program is unique in its vision and multi-disciplinary research approach. Our research into the causes, consequences, and prevention of violence contributes to the scientific evidence base to inform, enhance, or change local, state, and national violence reduction policies and practices. Our research is internationally recognized as among the best of its kind. 

We are actively broadening our research scope, including new areas of emphasis and identifying the social and structural factors that underly risk and protective factors for violence. Your support directly enhances our ability to continue as a leader in this research. Please consider giving today!
