Why we are losing the war on gun violence in the United States

"This edited collection of data and perspectives takes an . . . approach to gun violence prevention by addressing the question, 'why are we losing the war on gun violence in America?' Although successes and failures in the prevention of gun violence are examined, it is a war we are losing, due to restrictions on research funding, entrenched historical perspectives, structural violence, and perhaps differing priorities or views on what is right or wrong. With this compendium, the editors and authors hope to bridge the growing gap between groups or ideologies, and create common ground to discuss workable solutions"--OCLC.
