Firearm injuries caused by crime include those caused by interpersonal violence regardless of whether or not the victim was the intended target. Such injuries can be fatal (homicides) or nonfatal (assaults). As discussed on page 6, firearm homicide data from several good sources have been available for many years. Little data on nonfatal firearm injuries caused by crime were available until recently. While many jurisdictions have laws mandating the reporting of gunshot wounds to law enforcement, there is no national registry of such injuries. To understand firearm injury better, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiated the Firearms Injury Surveillance Study in June 1992. As discussed on page 5, this study collects data about gun-related injuries treated at hospital emergency departments through the Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System.
