This timely Handbook presents new insights and diverse perspectives on gun violence and the consequences of increased indiscriminate civilian firearm ownership. Expert contributors challenge the positivist and partisan paradigm of gun violence and firearm supply, arguing for drastically revised policy approaches.
Using analyses from across the social sciences including race and gender studies, victimology, psychology and anthropology, chapters interrogate a wide range of global, historical and regional dilemmas surrounding gun violence and society. Contributors examine the rapid development of social and technological innovation in gun production, supply and criminal misuse. Bringing together new empirical research with fresh academic insights, this Handbook sheds light on novel ways of understanding, investigating and preventing the gun violence that claims over 600 lives each day.
This Handbook is an insightful read for scholars and students in criminology, sociology, social policy and law, especially gun violence researchers. It is also a valuable resource for professionals and practitioners involved in gun violence and arms control, including activists, lobbyists, police and security personnel.
