Catie interviews Dr. April Zeoli, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Management and Policy
in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, a firearm violence researcher studying
intimate partner homicide and examining extreme-risk protection order laws and their implementation.
She and Catie discuss the challenges of accessing data and records around gun violence in intimate
partner cases as well as the ways implementation of “red flag laws” can improve to ensure gun
relinquishment occurs. And most importantly, Dr. Zeoli shares that the research indeed suggests “that
we can prevent gun violence and reduce homicide through laws that restrict dangerous people from
having guns”.
