Temple University is committed to helping combat gun violence in the Philadelphia region, and now, thanks to a new grant from Fund for a Safer Future, researchers at Temple have an unprecedented opportunity to connect with individuals in at-risk communities to learn more about urban gun violence in Philadelphia. By accessing people directly involved in gun violence, the researchers hope to gain new insight into factors that contribute to urban street violence.
