Guns, Gun Violence and Gun Homicides : Perspectives from the Caribbean, Global South and Beyond Hardback
Edited by Wendell C. Wallace
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Risk, Crime and Society series
Hardback
Description
This book provides in-depth coverage of guns, gun violence and gun homicides from a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to, gender, suicide, peaceology and police (in)action.
Reflecting changes in contemporary perceptions as well as desires for scholarship emanating from under-researched areas of the globe, this book addresses the pervasive issue of guns, gun violence and gun homicides.
Authored by a wide range of Social Science experts, and premised on the notions of epistemological diversity, inclusivity and knowledge production in the Global South, this book provides comprehensive coverage on the nebulous concern of guns and their destructive force using differing approaches to the same problem, with a focus on prevention/reduction of gun violence.
Readers may find the chapters contained in this book to be fascinating, provocative, informative, clearly presented and solution oriented.
This book is of special interest to students, criminologists, policymakers, criminal justice system officials and laypersons.
It is invaluable to policymakers at differing levels of government who provide advice on the social issue of guns and gun violence in their respective jurisdictions.
