Crime Is Not the Problem : Lethal Violence in America, Paperback / softback Book

Crime Is Not the Problem : Lethal Violence in America Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Crime and Public Policy series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book has three main aims: the first is to show that what separates the USA from other countries is not crime rates but lethal violence.

Crimes like burglary and theft are a part of modern urban life worldwide; shootings and stabbings are not - they are particularly American.

Why is this so? Secondly , the book seeks to clarify the causes of violence by looking at the proximate causes of deadly violence - guns, violence in the media, drugs and the tradition of lethal violence are all examined.

The concluding section of the book concerns the prevention of lethal violence as a priority issue.

The authors discuss a range of anti-violence alternatives from change in the criminal law to social and physical environmental factors and social values and attitudes.
