Peer reviewedAnderson, James F.; Dyson, Laronistine; Grandison, Terry – Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 1998
Traumatic spinal cord injuries resulting from criminal violence is a growing public health concern. Citing the criminal justice system's failure to reduce violence and the costs of treating injuries, a public health-education approach is advocated. Approaches to prevention, gun control, and a comprehensive family policy are discussed. (Author/EMK)
