Behavioral Science and Injury:
I've been in the injury prevention field a long time, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned from reading this book. The focus is on using behavioral science to help understand and prevent both unintentional and intentional injuries. The book is readable and extremely well-edited (almost forty authors).
Injury and Violence Prevention:
A useful text that integrates behavioural science methods to violence and injury prevention. It provides a helpful balance to other texts in the are which have a more engineering or legalistic focus.
