Crime is Not the Problem: Lethal Violence in America (Studies in Crime & Public Policy) - Hardcover
Book 5 of 51: Studies in Crime and Public Policy
Synopsis
This work has three main aims: the first is to show that what separates the USA from other countries is not crime rates but lethal violence. Crimes like burglary and theft are a part of modern urban life worldwide, whereas shootings and stabbings are not - they are particularly American. Why is this so? Secondly, the book seeks to clarify the causes of violence by looking at the proximate causes of deadly violence - guns, violence in the media, drugs and the tradition of lethal violence are all examined. The concluding section of the book concerns the prevention of lethal violence as a priority issue. The authors discuss a range of anti-violence alternatives from change in the criminal law to social, physical, and environmental factors and social values and attitudes.
