DESCRIPTION:
In Targeting Guns, Kleck follows the line of argument and careful statistical inference of his earlier prizewinning volume, Point Blank, while updating the literature reviews and statistical information, and adding two chapters.. This new paperback comprehensively reviews the research evidence on the links between guns, violence, and gun control, and reports results of the author's own research as well
Best Study I have found on Gun Controle and it's effects. BJD This is by far the most comprehensive study on gun legislation I have read.Very good book. Very Logical. Clear & precise.If you believe Gun legislation works to reduce crime this book will show you how you might wind up dead wrong.If you are locked in debates with people who arue on their emotions about gun ban.
