The College of Criminology & Criminal Justice at FSU is pleased to announce that Dr. Gary Kleck, Professor, has been appointed to the Committee on Priorities for a Public Health Research Agenda to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence. The project is a joint project of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council Division of Behavioral Social Sciences and Education with the administrative leadership provided by the IOM Executive Office. The committee will develop a proposed public health research agenda to improve the knowledge of the causes of gun violence, the interventions that prevent gun violence and strategies to minimize the public health burden of gun violence.
