Violence Policy Center : ウィキペディア英語版 | Violence Policy Center The Violence Policy Center (VPC) is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for gun policy based on research, investigations and analysis. Founded in 1988 by Josh Sugarmann,〔("The Huffington Post -- Josh Sugarmann." ) Retrieved 2013-8-5.〕 the VPC approaches violence, and firearms violence in particular, as a public health issue affecting the whole population, rather than solely a criminal matter. == Organizational background == The VPC has drawn the attention of Congress to gun-related policy issues by distributing its published research and analysis, and numerous US gun control organizations have used VPC reports and terminology to advance local and national gun control initiatives. The VPC is known mainly for its in-depth research on the firearms industry, the causes and impacts of gun violence, and regulatory policies to reduce gun violence.〔 The VPC advocates for pro-gun control legislation and policy that is usually opposed by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other national or state gun rights advocates. Since the VPC has no official membership fee, it relies on donations from the public and foundation support. The primary foundation donor to the VPC is the Joyce Foundation.〔("The Joyce Foundation - Gun Violence Prevention Grantees." ) Retrieved 2013-8-5.〕 The VPC publicizes its research through the news media and through coalitions with other advocacy organizations.〔
