Read the Introduction.
"A gathering of well known scholars and policy experts,
Harcourt's "Guns, Crime, and Punishment in America" is an
interesting and captivating read. Students of criminal justice will
find the book current in analysis as well as thought provoking.
Policy types will find it thoughtful and sophisticated. This book
is a collection of ideas, not a hodgepodge of topically related
articles. Taken together, they make for a very satisfying
book.
--"The Law and Politics Book Review"
Guns, Crime, and Punishment in America assembles a diverse group
of the nation's leading authorities on guns and gun violence to
present the most up-to-date research currently available. Exploring
such controversial issues as gun- tracing initiatives, the possible
extension of the Brady Bill, gun-oriented policing, federal law
enforcement initiatives such as "Project Exile," and civil
litigation against gun manufacturers, Guns, Crime, and Punishment
in America embarks upon a more balanced and nuanced discussion
about firearms. Though the book's contributors operate from a wide
variety of political perspectives and methodological approaches, a
central desire unifies the book: to end the extreme polarization
that currently characterizes the debate on guns, and generate
reasonable and practical gun policies in the United States.
