520 For years proposals for gun control and the ownership of
firearms have been among the most contentious issues in
American politics. For public authorities to make
reasonable decisions on these matters, they must take into
account facts about the relationship between guns and
violence as well as conflicting constitutional claims and
divided public opinion. In performing these tasks,
legislators need adequate data and research to judge both
the effects of firearms on violence and the effects of
different violence control policies. Readers of the
research literature on firearms may sometimes find
themselves unable to distinguish scholarship from
advocacy. Given the importance of this issue, there is a
pressing need for a clear and unbiased assessment of the
existing portfolio of data and research. Firearms and
Violence uses conventional standards of science to examine
three major themes - firearms and violence, the quality of
research, and the quality of data available. The book
assesses the strengths and limitations of current
databases, examining current research studies on firearm
use and the efforts to reduce unjustified firearm use and
suggests ways in which they can be improved.
