In the peer review process, reviewers commented that all three of the studies would be strengthened by incorporating additional data to strengthen the planned analyses.  Additional data would provide a more nuanced picture of 1) mechanisms of change between policy and environmental conditions and youth violence:  and 2) different forms and a broader spectrum of youth violence behavior.
