It could be added as a brief note to the lead, or to a new section such as "Deaths" that has Suicides and Homicides as subsections, or to a new section such as "Years of potential life lost" or something else or multiple of these.

It's currently featured in [[2022 in science]] like so:

<blockquote>A study uses '[[years of potential life lost]]' (YPLL) to show that firearms have become the [[List of causes of death by rate|largest co-cause]] of [[major trauma|traumatic]] death (or are associated with its causes) in the U.S. in 2017 and 2018 (1.42 M YPLL), slightly more than from motor vehicle crashes.<ref>{{cite news |title=Premature deaths from guns expose another toll of the firearms crisis |url=https://www.gpb.org/news/2022/02/23/premature-deaths-guns-expose-another-toll-of-the-firearms-crisis |access-date=16 March 2022 |work=Georgia Public Broadcasting |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Klein |first1=Joshua |last2=Prabhakaran |first2=Kartik |last3=Latifi |first3=Rifat |last4=Rhee |first4=Peter |title=Firearms: the leading cause of years of potential life lost |journal=Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open |date=1 February 2022 |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=e000766 |doi=10.1136/tsaco-2021-000766 |language=en |issn=2397-5776}}</ref> One year earlier, a study suggested the global 'mean loss of life expectancy' (LLE) from all forms of direct violence is about 0.3 years, while [[air pollution]] accounts for about 2.9 years.<ref name="10.1093/cvr/cvaa025">{{cite journal |last1=Lelieveld |first1=Jos |last2=Pozzer |first2=Andrea |last3=Pöschl |first3=Ulrich |last4=Fnais |first4=Mohammed |last5=Haines |first5=Andy |last6=Münzel |first6=Thomas |title=Loss of life expectancy from air pollution compared to other risk factors: a worldwide perspective |journal=Cardiovascular Research |date=1 September 2020 |volume=116 |issue=11 |pages=1910–1917 |doi=10.1093/cvr/cvaa025 |pmid=32123898 |pmc=7449554 |issn=0008-6363}}</ref>

Revision as of 20:33, 24 March 2022

Former good articleGun violence in the United States was one of the good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Did You Know A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 12, 2006.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that at nearly seventy percent, the rate of homicides in the United States involving gun violence is significantly higher than that of other developed countries?
Current status: Delisted good article


Out of date source, can someone see if there's something more recent? I have no database access.

Last sentence before the "Homicide" section heading: this source is over 30 years old. It begs the question as to the accuracy of this data and the intent behind choosing this source. There must be something more recent available; possibly one that accounts for income/poverty as well as guns in the home. Can anyone help out?

The risk of someone attempting suicide is also 4.8 times greater if they are exposed to a firearm on a regular basis; for example, in the home.[1] CALESCiENCE (talk) 19:00, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The most common type of gun confiscated by police and traced by the ATF are .38 special revolvers, such as this Smith & Wesson Model 60 .38 Special revolver with a 3-inch barrel

Semi-protected edit request on 2 June 2019

The last paragraph of the "Mass shootings" section has an irrelevant fact that has nothing to do with supporting the section or article whatsoever, and should be removed. It is entirely sensational and should not be in a Wikipedia article.

For reference the line is, "Between Jan. 1 and May 18, 2018, 31 students and teachers were killed inside U.S. schools. That exceeds the number of U.S. military servicemembers who died in combat and noncombat roles during the same period." ArchangelJW (talk) 09:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. MrClog (talk) 18:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New addition to intervention programs?

In 2016, Chicago saw a 58% increase in homicides.[1] In response to the spike in gun violence, a group of foundations and social service agencies created the Rapid Employment and Development Initiative (READI) Chicago.[2] A Heartland Alliance program,[3] READI Chicago targets those most at risk of being involved in gun violence – either as perpetrator or a victim.[4] Individuals are provided with 18 months of transitional jobs, cognitive behavioral therapy and legal and social services.[5] Individuals are also provided with 6 months of support as they transition to full-time employment at the end of the 18 months.[6] The University of Chicago Crime Lab is evaluating READI Chicago’s impact on gun violence reduction.[7] The evaluation, expected to be completed in Spring 2021, is showing early signs of success.[8] Eddie Bocanegra, senior directer of READI Chicago, hopes that the early success of READI Chicago will result in funding from the City of Chicago.[9] Drax Gon Give It To Ya (talk) 17:18, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
