Eviction, Collective Efficacy, and Firearm Violence in Chicago
In this cross-sectional study, eviction was associated with increased firearm violence exposure. Eviction augmented associations between low collective efficacy and firearm violence, highlighting the contextual role of structural disadvantage in galvanizing this association. Eviction may be a tangible intervention target for violence prevention in US cities.
