Reducing exposure to violence may be one way to disrupt cycles of violence among teenagers, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan.
Teenagers who witness violence in various forms are more likely than those who don’t to carry a firearm, researchers at U-M’s Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention in collaboration with the Firearm Safety Among Children and Teens Consortium found. That exposure to violence doesn’t necessarily need to involve a gun, the study found.
