Review
"Peter Squires, a reader in criminal justice studies at the University of Brighton, provides the broad strokes and fills in the details in comparing U.K. and U.S. gun policies in an analysis replete with historical and cultural material. Squires highlights various "discourses" employed in gun policy discussion, including crime control, public health, and in America, the frontier legacy.Peter Squires recognizes that in developing gun policies, "academic contributions - still less sociological or criminological ones - have tended to play only a fairly marginal role." With substantial academic contributions such as "Gun Control of Gun Culture? one can only hope that the margin is extended in the future.."
-American Journal of Sociology
"Squires is relentlessly sensible and measured in his judgements. He examines the reasoning on both sides of the gun control debate...."
-American Journal of Sociology, November 2001.
