GUNS: WHO SHOULD HAVE THEM?

From Book News, Inc.
Contributors from the fields of law, criminology, medicine, psychiatry, and feminist studies address major issues in the gun- control debate, such as the Brady Bill, guns and women, assault weapons, and juvenile armed crime. The slant is toward gun access, and a conclusion argues that the true causes of crime are the breakdown of the family and "hopelessness" among male youth in inner cities. Includes b&w photos of guns.

Midwest Book Review
The focus on gun control measures has taken attention away from the real causes of crime: social failings and the breakdown of the family structure. This researches issues of gun control, examining statistics surrounding who owns and uses guns and arguing that a more important issue is why people are arming themselves.
