About The Study: This study found that living in a more economically deprived and socially marginalized area was associated with increased risk of using violence against others. The finding suggests that interventions may need to include investments in neighborhoods with the highest levels of violence to help reduce downstream transmission of violence.
Authors: Elizabeth C. Pino, Ph.D., of the Boston University School of Medicine, is the corresponding author.
