Beskrivning

The Behavioral Science of Firearms focuses on applying behavioral science principles and knowledge to inform and improve firearm-related policy, practice, and research. The authors provide comprehensive coverage of relevant case law and legal statutes, as well as issues pertaining to violence, suicide, and gun safety. Additional topics include civilian firearm ownership suitability; considerations for relevant professions (such as the military, law enforcement, and corrections); self-care; and more. Concepts are presented via a best-practices model that promotes empirically-supported decision-making. Drawing on a range of arenas such as psychology, sociology, criminal justice, and law, The Behavioral Science of Firearms is an essential resource for a wide readership, including practitioners, institutional and law enforcement personnel, legislators, and academicians and students in fields such as psychology, criminal justice, and public health.

Recensioner i media

Too often the intersection of the topics of firearms and mental illness is the subject of misconceptions or approached with political partisanship. Dr. Pirelli and his colleagues have provided a thorough and apolitical exposition of the history and many clinical, legal, and behavioral issues associated with the topics of firearms and behavioral health. This book is a welcome addition to the new, cutting edge literature that relies on research evidence, some designed and conducted by the authors themselves, to examine and draw conclusions regarding best practices in managing the public health problems presented by violence, suicide, and firearms.
