“…In an attempt to guide actions toward achieve the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the implementation of a system of ongoing, self-evaluating safety guidelines is fundamental at both national and regional levels and tailored to specific environments on the rural-urban continuum. As suggested by Ceccato and Assiago (2020), there is a risk that if a safety guideline is merely voluntary, as it is now in many countries around the world, safety as an integral part of sustainability is unlikely to be incorporated into daily practice. Therefore, in order to ensure that safety guidelines are put into practice, a mandate for municipalities and regional bodies must exist to support county administrative boards or similar authorities.…”

We draw from previous chapters to propose recommendations on how to respond to issues of crime and safety in areas on the rural-urban continuum. We offer suggestions for professionals to better delineate crime prevention measures and/or safety interventions. These suggestions can also be suitable for students. Decades of research have shown that areas of the rural-urban continuum are special from a criminological perspective and deserve more attention. These suggestions are more ‘a guide for reflection’ than a normative list of ‘what to do’, therefore before interventions are put into place. The recommendations are based on the assumption that there is no silver bullet that can solve all types of crime and safety problems. In an increasingly globalized world, the existence of national guidelines to tackle problems of crime and safety can be helpful for actors at regional and local levels.

The Silent Epidemic of Gun Injuries

Gun violence undermines a quest for a healthy and productive life. This book is urban focused, with race and socioeconomic class assuming prominence, thus bringing a social justice and equity lens. Gun violence is best conceptualized as a jigsaw puzzle, with deaths representing one dimension and injuries the other. The vast majority of gun violence encounters cause an injury rather than death, which only enhances the importance of this public health issue. US gun violence is commonplace, particularly in its cities and in communities of color. This translates into major policy decisions that ignore these communities, and fear of crime is the glue that helps associate gun violence and race. This book addresses five goals: (1) provide a picture of the extent and nature of gun injuries among children/youth and adults, with a special emphasis on those of color and cities; (2) provide a series of concepts for conceptualizing urban-focused interventions; (3) provide case illustrations of innovative interventions; (4) highlight recommendations for practice, education, and research; and (5) identify crosscutting themes to move this field forward.
