Abstract
The qualitative study utilized a community-based participatory research approach to leverage a partnership between academic researchers and the Newark Community Street Team to examine the experiences of those who own and have access to illegal firearms in a sample of 28 Black and Brown participants in Newark, New Jersey. The findings affirm the reasons why illegal firearms owners acquire firearms including protection. We found that participants did not store their firearms securely and firearms were accessible through multiple avenues. The study findings provide insights on what participants identified as prevention and intervention efforts for addressing illegal firearm ownership including changing community social norms and providing healing groups for youth.

We all face the difficult problem of understanding and treating the perpetrators and victims of violence behavior. Violence and Victims is the evidence-based resource that informs clinical decisions, legal actions, and public policy. Now celebrating its 25th year, Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, policy, and clinical practice in the area of interpersonal violence and victimization. It seeks to facilitate the exchange of information on this subject across such professional disciplines as psychology, sociology, criminology, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and social work.
