“…External issues, such as negative police encounters, systemic discrimination, and a lack of cultural responsiveness further compound with the internal challenges (T. B. Bent-Goodley, 2013; Messing et al, 2022; N. M. St. Vil et al, 2017).…”

“…Additional studies have found that survivors in the Black community often first reach out to informal supports, such as family, friends, and faith-based organizations, before or even if they seek help from formal systems such as law enforcement and domestic violence service providers (T. Bent-Goodley et al, 2012; Harper, 2022; Messing et al, 2022; Waller et al, 2022). As a result, survivors exhaust a number of resources to identify how and when to obtain support (Evans & Feder, 2016; Thomas et al, 2015; Zosky, 2011).…”

“…It involves a survivor’s process of decision-making to determine the need for help and how to best seek support (Harper, 2022; Waller et al, 2022, 2023). Help-seeking strategies of survivors of domestic violence in the Black community are shaped by their perceptions of domestic violence, the systems they interact with, and how they perceive their resources (Messing et al, 2022; Waller et al, 2022). However, adaptations in help-seeking can result in high-risk domestic violence, conceptualizing increased risk for serious injury or death (Barrett et al, 2020; Messing et al, 2022; Richards et al, 2020).…”

One in four women report experiencing intimate partner violence. Yet, nearly 45% of Black women report experiencing this same crime. In addition, while Black women compose 14% of the U.S. population, they represent 31% of domestic violence fatalities and are three times more likely than White women to be killed by an intimate partner. This points to the continued need to better understand how the Black community perceives domestic violence and how their perception influences their help-seeking strategies. This paper reports on a project examining how Black communities perceive domestic violence, high-risk domestic violence, and how these perceptions impact their help-seeking strategies. The study was conducted between April 2020 and October 2020 with 128 participants that participated in focus groups in six geographically diverse U.S. cities including rural, urban, and suburban communities. The findings reaffirmed and presented new information about the perceptions of domestic violence, the impact of inadequate and negative systems’ responses, the lack of cultural responsiveness and poor police interactions, and the calculated decision-making that survivors in the Black community use to determine who to tell, how to tell, and where to go in use of adapted help-seeking strategies. Implications are provided as to how to address these issues.

The Science of Gun Policy: A Critical Synthesis of Research Evidence on the Effects of Gun Policies in the United States, Third Edition

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Effective gun policies in the United States must balance Second Amendment rights and public interest in gun ownership with concerns about public health and safety. However, efforts to craft legislation related to guns are hampered by a paucity of reliable information about the effects of such policies. To help address this problem, the RAND Corporation launched the Gun Policy in America initiative. Throughout RAND's 70-year history, in multiple projects, in many policy arenas, and on topics that are sensitive and controversial, researchers have conducted analyses, built tools, and developed resources to help policy makers and the public make effective decisions. The primary goal of the Gun Policy in America project is to create resources where policymakers and the general public can access unbiased information that facilitates the development of fair and effective firearm policies.This initiative has yielded several research products, such as a state firearm law database; surveys of policy experts that identified where access to reliable data would be most useful in resolving policy debates; various tools and methodological reports for researchers; and the first and second editions of this report, which synthesized the available scientific data on the effects of 18 types of firearm policies on a variety of outcomes related to gun ownership. This third edition builds on the second edition by updating the literature review to include studies published through October 2020. The result is a substantially updated synthesis of the available evidence concerning the effects of 18 types of gun policies.The Gun Policy in America initiative did not attempt to evaluate the merits of different values or principles that sometimes drive policy disagreements. Rather, our focus is strictly on the empirical effects of policies on the eight outcomes specified in this report. All of our resources are publicly available on the project website at www.rand.org/gunpolicy.The work should be of interest to policymakers and other stakeholders considering decisions related to firearm policy. Furthermore, this report may be of interest to the research community and to the general public. Justice Policy ProgramRAND Social and Economic Well-Being is a division of the RAND Corporation that seeks to actively improve the health and social and economic well-being of populations and communities throughout the world. This research was conducted in the Justice Policy Program within RAND Social and Economic Well-Being. The program focuses on such topics as access to justice, policing, corrections, drug policy, and court system reform, as well as other policy concerns pertaining to public safety and criminal and civil justice.
