Project MUSE is providing free access to full-text articles and books focused on understanding and preventing gun violence. MUSE in Focus: Addressing Gun Violence aims to “encourage the broadest possible engagement with current research and expertise on the topic as the latest round of gun policy debates and discussions continue in the wake of shootings in California, Texas, and Ohio.”

The collection was selected by Project MUSE staff and publishers to offer a broad range of perspectives and expertise relevant to policy debates resurging with each new incident of gun violence.  Among the book collection are

• Private Guns, Public Health (2017) by David Hemenway
