Gun Violence and Intimate Partner Violence: A Review of the Literature and Where We Stand
In 2024, the MacArthur Foundation commissioned research to better understand the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) and firearms violence. Historically, these two topics have often been separate in areas such as funding, research, prevention, and intervention efforts. While recent attention has focused more on the overlap between firearms and IPV – especially in relation to policy – there remains less emphasis on how current policies may be less effective for Black women and other people of color, non-policy approaches, policies addressing social determinants of health, and community-driven interventions.
In this Joyce Foundation webinar, researchers will discuss a paper produced for the MacArthur Foundation that reviews existing literature and digs into gaps in our collective understanding through interviews with over a dozen funders, academics, and community leaders with expertise in this area. In addition, researchers will discuss a report that summarizes and analyzes state and federal statutes to restrict and remove firearms from perpetrators of intimate partner violence.
