Description
Gun Crime in Global Contexts by Peter Squires is a comprehensive analysis of the complex issues surrounding gun violence and control. With over 875 million global firearms, the proliferation of guns has become a major contributor to regional conflicts and crime. This book offers a cutting-edge account of contemporary developments in the politics of gun crime, including an innovative political analysis of neo-liberal globalization and weapon proliferation, as well as discussions on youth gangs around the world. Squires examines recent gun control debates, US gun politics, school shootings, and the UN's development of an Arms Trade Treaty. With its interdisciplinary perspective and global reach, this book will be valuable reading for those interested in youth and gang crime, violent crime, comparative criminal justice, peace and security studies, and international relations.
