Summary
"The paper below looks at interventions and evidence on the effectiveness of prevention strategies and programmes. It is predicated on the fact that gun violence is primarily perpetrated by young men, who are also the majority of the victims, and is often associated with illegal trade in guns and drugs; that in many regions of the world the level of deaths has reached epidemic proportions; and that gun-related violence is also a major concern in cities in many developed countries."--Page 2.
