Firearm-Related Unintentional Childhood Injury in Israel.
J Community Health
October 2024
Beterem Safe Kids, Petah Tikwa, Israel.
The rise in demand for firearm licenses in Israel due to the ongoing 2023-2024 Israel-Gaza War, coupled with the easing of regulations for issuing weapons, is expected to lead to a significant increase in the incidence of firearms among civilians. This situation calls for a special awareness of civilian populations of the dangers posed to children by the high prevalence of firearms. We therefore present trends in firearm-related incidents resulting in unintentional mortality and morbidity of children ages 0-17 between the years 2008-2023 in Israel.

Background: In 2015, California passed AB 71 to create a state-wide Use of Force Incident Reporting Database (URSUS) to tabulate law enforcement-reported encounters that resulted in serious bodily injury, death or discharge of a firearm. We use these data to analyse encounters that resulted in fatal and non-fatal civilian injuries in California between 2016 and 2021.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of URSUS from January 2016 to December 2021.

Background: Fatal and nonfatal shootings by police are a public health issue that warrants additional research. Prior research has documented associations between fatal shootings by police and gun ownership, legislative strength scores, and lax concealed carry weapons laws. Despite research on other firearm-related outcomes, little is known about the impact of permit-to-purchase (PTP) laws on shootings by police.

Background: Firearm-related injury in children is a public health crisis. The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) identifies communities at risk for adverse effects due to natural or human-caused crises. We sought to determine if SVI was associated with pediatric firearm-related injury and thus could assist in prevention planning.

Military studies have identified significant trends in combat related preventable death, particularly with respect to limb hemorrhage. Little is known, however regarding preventable death due to firearms in the civilian patient population, or the anatomic distribution of these injuries. An understanding of this information and the applicability of military studies to the civilian patient population is critical to developing strategies for treating these injuries.
