Sorenson. The purpose of this course is for students to gain an understanding of patterns of fatal violence and population and prevention approaches to violence. The course will focus on policies and regulations related to firearms, the primary mechanism by which violence-related fatalities occue in the U.S. We will address the life span of a gun, from design and manufacture through to use. In addition, we will address key aspects of the social context in which firearsm exist and within which firearm policy is made. The course, by design, is inherently interactive.
