I would recommend "Violence in Society: A Public Health Perspective" by the
Canadian Public Health Association (November, 1994).  It's a little dated but it
is an excellent resource.

Let me know if you would like me to mail you a copy.

Subject:  Violence Prevention




The OPHA Violence Prevention Workgroup is in the process of preparing a
position paper on the role of public health in violence prevention.  Does
anyone know of any research/ statistics/ literature reviews in this area?
