The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society
of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to
the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare.
Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad-
emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific
and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engi-
neers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members,
sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the
federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-
ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is presi-
dent of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in
the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti-
tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its
congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own
initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V.
Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences
in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to
the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The
Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine.
Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively,
of the National Research Council.

Acknowledgments
T
he Forum on Global Violence Prevention was established to develop
multisectoral collaboration among stakeholders. Violence prevention
is a cross-disciplinary field that could benefit from increased dialogue
among researchers, policy makers, funders, and practitioners. As awareness
of the insidious and pervasive nature of violence grows, so too does the
imperative to mitigate and prevent it. The Forum seeks to illuminate and
explore evidence-based approaches to the prevention of violence.
A number of individuals contributed to the development of this
workshop and report. These include a number of staff members from the
IOM and the National Academies: Patrick Kelley, Angela Christian, Julie
Wiltshire, Marton Cavani, Daniel Bethea, Christina Fedak, Meg Ginivan,
Yeonwoo Leibowitz, Patsy Powell, and Eileen Milner. The Forum staff,
including Deepali Patel, Rachel Taylor, and Megan Perez, also put forth
considerable effort to ensure this workshop’s success. The staff at the Em-
bassy of Canada provided excellent support for the event.
The planning committee contributed several hours of service to develop
and execute the agenda, with the guidance of forum membership. Review-
ers also provided thoughtful remarks in reading the draft manuscript.
Finally, these efforts would not be possible without the work of the Forum
membership itself, an esteemed body of individuals dedicated to the concept
that violence is preventable.
The overall successful functioning of the Forum and its activities de-
pends on the generosity of its sponsors. Financial support for the Forum on
Global Violence Prevention is provided by the Department of Health and
Human Services: Administration on Aging, Administration on Children,
