Gun violence, and specifically community gun violence, has deleterious effects in the United States and notably within the population of African American males. With gun violence often termed a public health crisis, there is an importance to understand social workers’ readiness and willingness to respond to it. However, there is a limited number of existing studies and literature on social workers’ preparation, comfortability, and involvement with preventive and interventive responses related to community gun violence. This qualitative and exploratory study examined social workers’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to gun violence and community gun violence, in particular. The findings provided insight into social workers’ experiences, awareness, understandings, positions, apprehensions, and current practices, along with their willingness to engage in work related to community gun violence. Findings highlighted the learning interests, the nascent social work competency on the subject, and a need to increase social work competency on community gun violence. The discussion includes strengths and limitations of the study, with implications for social work education, social work practice at micro, mezzo, and macro levels, and social work research.
