A public health approach to the violence epidemic in the United-States describes the dimensions and root causes of the problem with violence in the United States. After defining the problem and who is affected, the paper criticizes the dominant policy and describes an alternative, community based, public health approach to violence prevention that the authors are currently helping to implement in Northern California.
