As cultural, social, political, and historical objects, guns are
rich with complex and contested significance. What guns mean, why
they matter, and what policies should be undertaken to regulate
guns remain issues of vigorous scholarly and public debate. Gun
Studies offers fresh research and original perspectives on the
contentious issue of firearms in public life. Comprising global,
interdisciplinary contributions, this insightful volume examines
difficult and timely questions through the lens of: Social practice
Marketing and commerce Critical theory Political conflict Public
policy Criminology Questions explored include the evolution of
American gun culture from recreation to self-protection; the
changing dynamics of the pro-gun and pro-regulation movements; the
deeply personal role of guns as sources of both injury and
security; and the relationship between gun-wielding individuals,
the state, and social order in the United States and abroad. In
addition to introducing new research, Gun Studies presents
reflections by senior scholars on what has been learned over the
decades and how gun-related research has influenced public policy
and everyday conversations. Offering provocative and often intimate
perspectives on how guns influence individuals, social structures,
and the state in both dramatic and nuanced ways, Gun Studies will
appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as
sociology, political science, legal history, criminology, criminal
justice, social policy, armaments industries, and violent crime. It
will also appeal to policy makers and all others interested in and
concerned about the use of guns.
