SUMMARY:More Guns\, Less Murder? Unpacking Recent Trends in Homicide\, Gun Ownership\, and Gun Policy in America
DESCRIPTION:Private gun ownership in America has surged in the past several years\, even as authorities have intensified enforcement against illegal firearms—cracking down on “ghost” guns\, tightening oversight of licensed dealers\, and seizing more weapons from the streets. Meanwhile\, violent crime\, particularly homicide\, saw a historic rise followed by a historic decline. \nJoin the Council on Criminal Justice’s Centering Justice project and leading experts for a conversation about how gun policies\, enforcement strategies\, and market dynamics are shaping gun violence trends today—and the implications for policy and strategy. \nLearn more and REGISTER \n

SUMMARY:ResilienceCon
DESCRIPTION:ResilienceCon™ is an international conference that focuses on strengths-based approaches for research\, prevention\, and intervention on violence and other adversities. The organizers at Life Paths Research Center take a multidimensional approach to resilience. They believe—and the science supports—that there are many pathways to healing and most people use multiple assets and resources to overcome trauma. Although trauma has many harmful effects\, it is possible to thrive after trauma. Anyone can get better at resilience! This conference is dedicated to improving the science\, policy\, and practice of resilience. Organizers have a strong social justice and community focus and try to embody that with the conference community. \nThe conference will be held in Nashville\, TN. \nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS \nREGISTRATION
