Firearms and Violence: A Critical Review examines the complex relationship between gun ownership, gun control policies, and societal violence. The book evaluates empirical research and statistical evidence on the role of firearms in violent crimes, the effectiveness of firearm legislation, and their broader societal impacts. Authored by experts in criminology and public policy, it provides a critical analysis of how firearms contribute to violence and discusses possible measures for crime reduction and public safety improvement. The review also explores the intersections of violence, extremism, and rehabilitation, making it relevant for addressing broader issues of societal stability and counterterrorism. Geographical Context: United States with comparative insights into global firearm policies
