"Evictions really break up communities, both for the people who are forced to move and for people who are losing their neighbors."

A new study led by Pritzker M3 Thomas Statchen and senior author Elizabeth Tung, MD, MS and published in JAMA Network Open identifying a link between eviction rates and gun violence was featured on WBEZ Chicago's Morning Edition today and detailed here by the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. Congratulations to all involved on this important scholarly achievement!

Research from the University of Chicago shows that increases in evictions are associated with higher rates of gun violence and disrupt social cohesion in neighborhoods.
