Key Highlights
Medicine · Public Health
This article presents a critical analysis of policy responses to community violence, evaluating the shift from colorblind to explicitly antiracist frameworks. The authors examine how traditional public health approaches have often overlooked structural racism, and they propose a new policy lens to address root causes of violence in marginalized communities. For a nurse and psychologist working in chronic disease prevention, this is a crucial perspective, as community violence is a profound social determinant of health that directly impacts health behaviors, stress-related chronic conditions, and the effectiveness of prevention programs.
