Evidence-informed violence prevention efforts seek to decrease vulnerability (i.e., factors that place individuals at a higher risk for violence) and increase resiliency (i.e., factors that protect individuals from experiencing violence). Risk and protective factors exist at various levels, including individual, relational, community, and structural or systemic factors (Weisner, 2020; Wilkins et al., 2014).
