In 1999, Connecticut became the first state to pass a law authorizing police to temporarily remove guns from individuals when there is\u00a0probable cause they pose a significant risk of harm to others or self.<\/p>\n

The research is based on the article, \u201cImplementation and Effectiveness of Connecticut\u2019s Risk-Based Gun Removal Law: Does It Prevent Suicides?\u201d forthcoming in\u00a0Law and Contemporary Problems<\/em>. The research study examined the characteristics, implementation, and outcomes of gun removals conducted in Connecticut during the period 1999-2013. This article will inform other states that are considering the adoption of similar gun-seizure laws.<\/p>\n

Andrea Duarte, LCSW, MPH, Behavioral Health Program Manager for the DMHAS Prevention & Health Promotion Unit, was instrumental in providing the suicide data that was used for comparison. Andrea is also a frequent field instructor for School of Social Work master\u2019s students.<\/p>\n
