The authors of this article are associated with the criminal justice field as they are all employees of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), particularly the violence prevention and injury prevention sections within the CDC. In the article, the authors explain the statistics surrounding firearm injuries within the United States, as well as the factors that contributed to the research they provided. The focus of the paper, as provided by Fowler, Dahlberg, Haileyesus, and Annest (2015), was to "examine the epidemiology of fatal and nonfatal firearm violence in the United States.". The authors explain into detail the different factors that contribute to the likelihood of being the victim of a fatal firearm injury, such as in this excerpt from the article “As with firearm-related homicides and suicides, the large majority of victims of unintentional firearm deaths were males, with a male to female rate ratio of 6:1.” (Fowler, Dahlberg, Haileyesus, Annest, 2015). Overall, this article will benefit the reader in learning statistics surrounding firearm injuries within
the past two decades.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 3
Siegel, Ross, and King are all scholarly authors with much of their work being published by the American Public Health Association. In this article the authors compare the relationship of gun ownership to firearm homicide rates. I find that the statistics they cite are from other professional sites such as the University of Chicago Press, Epidemiol Community Health, and the Violence Policy Center. The article dives the correlation between gun ownership and homicide rates by firearms, Siengel, Ross, and King assert in this article that “gun ownership was
a significant predictor of firearm homicide rates” (1) stating that gun ownership does have a significant impact on the potential for a homicide to happen. The work provided by the authors discuss that the statistics surrounding firearm homicide rates being lower than the prediction such as in this quote “Our results were consistent with, but generally lower than, previous estimates of the effect of gun ownership on homicide rates.” (Siegel, Ross, King, 2013). Overall, this article will benefit a reader that is interested in the correlation between firearm ownership and firearm homicide rates, as the author gives everything a reader would need to understand the statistics from 1981 to 2010.
