Homicide has become the leading cause of untimely death among black adolescent males in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death for young people overall. The authors review adolescent homicide statistics, discuss the epidemiology of homicide among young people, examine the crucial role firearms (and handguns in particular) play in this process, and suggest potential strategies for prevention and intervention.
