The future tasks for gun controlReviews'The case study of public health advocacy presented in this book could be a model to some of us in the criminal justice field of how to move beyond research and scholarship, into advocacy for change.' -- David McDonald * Current Issues in Criminal Justice * 'Through the eyes of the media, Chapman has captured well the aftermath of the Port Arthur incident and how such a tragedy fuelled by debate became the catalyst for national firearms regulation in Australia.
