The authors of this article are associated with the criminal justice field as they are all employees of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), particularly the violence prevention and injury prevention sections within the CDC. In the article, the authors explain the statistics surrounding firearm injuries within the United States, as well as the factors that contributed to the research they provided. The focus of the paper, as provided by Fowler, Dahlberg, Haileyesus, and Annest (2015), was to "examine the epidemiology of fatal and nonfatal firearm violence in the United States.". The authors explain into detail the different factors that contribute to the likelihood of being the victim of a fatal firearm injury, such as in this excerpt from the article “As with firearm-related homicides and suicides, the large majority of victims of unintentional firearm deaths were males, with a male to female rate ratio of 6:1.” (Fowler, Dahlberg, Haileyesus, Annest, 2015). Overall, this article will benefit the reader in learning statistics surrounding firearm injuries within
the past two decades.
