I just picked this book up in the collage bookstore here in Albany New York, and I highly reccomend it.
Drawing their research in the most extensive study to date, the authors here decribed the means and methods of gun related violence among urban youth. using data collected among juvenile male inmates and students in inner city high schools. Sheley and Wright focus on number, type, and method of acquistion of firearms, as well as the varying reasons given for carrying of arms.
This book concludes by chalenging some steriotypes and and urging a policy aimed at reducing the motivation for gun possession by youth, rather than simply atempting to remove guns from their hands.
