A groundbreaking study co-led by Rutgers University reveals that bystanders—those who witness gun violence but are not directly victimized—may be crucial in preventing future incidents. The national survey found that 70% of participants aged 10 to 34 reported exposure to firearm violence, with more than 40% having witnessed a shooting in public. Researchers argue that effective prevention strategies should empower these bystanders to identify and report risky behaviors before violence escalates.

The findings underscore the potential of bystander intervention programs, which have previously shown promise in reducing crimes like bullying and sexual violence.
