This book critically examines the link between guns and violence.
It weighs the value of guns for self-protection against the adverse
effects of gun ownership and carrying. It also analyses the role of
public opinion, the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, and
the firearms industry and lobby in impeding efforts to prevent gun
violence. Confronting Gun Violence in America explores solutions to
the gun violence problem in America, a country where 90 people die
from gunshot wounds every day. The wide-range of solutions assessed
include: a national gun licensing system; universal background
checks; a ban on military-style weapons; better regulatory
oversight of the gun industry; the use of technologies, such as the
personalization of weapons; child access prevention; repealing laws
that encourage violence; changing violent norms; preventing
retaliatory violence; and strategies to rebuild American
communities. This accessible and incisive book will be of great
interest to students and researchers in criminology and sociology,
as well as practitioners and policy-makers with an interest in gun
ownership and violence.
