Scholarly work

This is an older work (1986) and is not an easy read. It is well documented, full of facts and figures, and a worthwhile addition to my library. I am a firearms instructor and I have hundreds of books and studies dealing with self defense, criminality, training, use of force, and such. Don't expect a novel, expect an academic document.

Integrity in Research

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2003

The work presented in this book stands as a shining example of how social science research should be conducted. The authors' ability to set aside their preconceptions regarding gun control establishes their qualifications as preeminent researchers in the field and true professionals (as though this was necessary). Contemporary social science research is too often lacking in integrity; thankfully, these practitioners have made a contribution to the truth rather than some political ideology. The work cannot be classified as conservative or liberal. Rather, it represents a full and exhaustive exploration of the dynamics associated with the gun control debate as it is framed today. True students of the field should be grateful.
