Abstract

America has both the highest gun death rate (12 per 100,000 persons) and the highest gun circulation rate (about 121 firearms in circulation for every 100 persons) of any developed country. Taken together, these statistics might lead one to assume that high gun death rates in America are all but a certain outcome. However, gun death rates vary substantially across America suggesting that a range of solutions to reduce gun death and injury exist. This transdisciplinary volume contains a novel collection of articles that overview the evolution of American gun policy, presents evidence on the efficacy of both policy and non-policy interventions, and provides insight on where we go from here given American culture, norms, and legal structures.

枪支暴力与美国枪支政策——解读美国例外主义

在所有发达国家中，美国的枪支死亡率最高（每10万人中有12人），枪支流通率最高（每100人中约有121支枪支流通）。综合来看，这些统计数据可能会让人认为，美国的高枪支死亡率几乎是必然的结果。然而，美国各地的枪支死亡率差异很大，这表明存在一系列减少枪支伤亡的解决方案。这本跨学科的书包含了一系列新颖的文章，概述了美国枪支政策的演变，提供了政策和非政策干预有效性的证据，并深入了解了美国文化、规范和法律结构的现状。
