Guns, knives and pesticides: reducing access to lethal means

This briefing for advocates, programme designers and implementers and others is

one of a seven-part series on the evidence for interventions to prevent interpersonal

and self-directed violence. The other six briefings look at increasing safe, stable and

nurturing relationships between children and their parents and caregivers; developing

life skills in children and adolescents; reducing availability and misuse of alcohol;

promoting gender equality; changing cultural norms that support violence; and victim

identification, care and support.
