Although the majority of murders in the United States are committed with guns, research on gun ownership, the supply of guns, and the relationship between guns and crime is less thorough than studies done for many other aspects of public safety policy. This book explores the weaknesses in current findings, and extrapolates the implications of policymaking based on these faulty foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the gun debate continues to rage in North America, this text offers a cautionary voice to the discourse--before practitioners and policy makers can create a solution to gun violence, they must first improve the quality of the facts they use to make their case. Intended for criminology, statistics, sociology, and economics students, \u003ci\u003eGuns and Crime \u003c\/i\u003eis also suitable for interested laypersons and practitioners hoping to better understand the mythos surrounding guns in America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Gius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498780385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498780384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Gius","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088449908991,"sku":"9781498780384","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96c3eb86-d786-4d0d-98d2-4c01c7c47c0e.jpg?v=1769104893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/guns-and-crime-mark-gius-9781498780384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
