AB Social medicine is the application of social science research to address health, inequities in access to health care, and structural violence. Foundational to this work is to bring about social justice for marginalized and underserved populations. Drawing on several case studies from developed and developing countries, we apply ideas and practices from social medicine to explore how the advancement of social justice can help prevent interpersonal violence. Several themes offer fresh perspectives on inculcating social justice principles and practices in violence prevention, including recognizing the impacts of structural violence, fostering equity in the distribution of resources, expanding accompaniment, and overcoming a socialized acceptance of scarcity. We conclude with observations on the indistinct and dynamic boundaries between medicine and criminology.
