Lawmakers want to expand role of hospitals in preventing violence Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (File photo) By LUKE GENTILE A Maryland lawmaker and a Republican colleague are proposing legislation that would expand the role hospitals play in preventing violent crimes. “One of the leading factors for violent injury is prior injury,” one of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D- Timonium, said. “If we can help victims of violent injury before they become repeat victims or ever perpetrators themselves, we end the cycle and net cost savings to the American taxpayer.” Ruppersberger and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Illinois, introduced legislation that would provide close to $10 million through federal grants to help hospitals expand or create programs to help patients who are recovering from injuries caused by violent crime. It is similar to legislation the pair sponsored in the last Congress and was passed in the House.
