Abstract

In many U.S. cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook identify the most beneficial evidence-based practices, offering a comprehensive guide for deploying the authority and considerable resources of the police to reduce gun violence.

Abstract

"Murder Town, USA: Homicide, Structural Violence and Activism is a street ethnography that describes how fifteen men and women (ages 21-48), formerly involved with the streets, studied and did activism on gun violence in Wilmington, Delaware. This team examined how race, ethnicity, gender, poverty, white-wealth and small-city size contributed to a street identity and especially the spread of gun violence. Drawing on the voices of the streets, this book project is in part a research-driven response to an infamous 2014 Newsweek article, "Murder Town USA (aka) Wilmington, Delaware," which focused on how a small city's identity was forged by white wealth, gun violence and Black poverty. Murder Town, USA further argues the voices most likely to perpetuate and be victimized by gun violence, is what's missing most from discussions on gun violence. It is only through and with the streets that it is possible to fully understand and stop the violence in their neighborhoods"--

"What's not to like about the Victims' Rights Movement? What about the fact that it has led to excessive punishment and to increased racial disparity in sentencing? What about its false promises to crime victims that they will experience "closure" by participating in the criminal justice process?"--

Abstract

In 2008, the Supreme Court issued a groundbreaking opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller. Relying heavily on historical sources, the Court concluded that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees a personal right to keep and bear arms for purposes unrelated to a government-run militia. Heller not only marked the judicial culmination of a decades-long historical dispute, but also ushered in a new wave of legal challenges that in turn raised the need for further scholarship on the historical scope of gun rights and regulation in Anglo-American history. In hundreds of cases over the next 15 years, judges relied on both historical research and contemporary evidence in evaluating the constitutionality of gun laws designed to address contemporary problems of the most visceral kind.

Abstract

À partir des photographies prises par Spencer Ostrander sur les lieux des tueries de masse des 20 dernières années aux Etats-Unis, Paul Auster retrace l'histoire de la violence par arme à feu, de la "préhistoire" du pays jusqu'à aujourd'hui, et fait ainsi l'état des lieux d'une problématique qui divise cette nation en deux camps irréconciliables, à l'heure où la possession d'armes à feu n'a jamais eu autant le vent en poupe et où l'on assiste à une recrudescence des homicides par balle dans les 40 plus grandes villes du pays. Si Paul Auster s'empare de ce sujet, c'est parce qu'il est grand temps que l'Amérique décide quel peuple elle veut être et quel genre de nation elle veut incarner. Une plongée aux origines de la fracture du pays. Un plaidoyer pour l'union d'une nation.

Abstract

The American gun control debate is best understood as a battle in a war over the influence of individualism on American culture, politics, and policy. This book demonstrates that the gun debate is fundamentally about values. Specifically, it is about what we value most: private rights, or the public good. This helps explain why the technical, empirical, or legalistic arguments we hear aren’t persuasive. A review of scholarly literature on both the politics of gun control and American political culture finds an American bias toward an individualism that embraces personal rights. We argue that this bias stacks the deck against gun control. Interviews we conducted with activists show that support for, or opposition to, gun control is linked to concern for the public, or private, good. Finally, we trace the federal gun control debate in Washington from the 1960s to 2010s to show the ebbs and flows of individualism’s influence.

Abstract

In 'The Gun Dilemma', Robert J. Spitzer examines this 'gun rights 2.0' movement in the light of a host of gun controversies: assault weapons, ammunition magazines, silencers, public gun brandishing and display, and the emergent Second Amendment sanctuary movement. Given the importance of actual gun law history to this debate, Spitzer draws from the historical record to illuminate several contemporary and emergent gun controversies that may well make their way to the Supreme Court.
