Measuring interpersonal firearm violence: natural language processing methods to address limitations in criminal charge data.

Objective: Firearm violence constitutes a public health crisis in the United States, but comprehensive data infrastructure is lacking to study this problem. To address this challenge, we used natural language processing (NLP) to classify court record documents from alleged violent crimes as firearm-related or non-firearm-related.

Materials And Methods: We accessed and digitized court records from the state of Washington (n = 1472).
