Reviews

Advance praise: 'Law enforcement must address and anticipate new trends in the illegal acquisition, use, and transfer of firearms to ensure the safety of our communities. Evidence-based research provided by the Small Arms Survey 2013 can help us better understand the problem of violent crime involving the use of firearms. I invite all those organizations, authorities, and services tasked with preventing and combating crime worldwide to draw full benefit from this new edition of the Survey.' Ronald K. Noble, Secretary General, INTERPOL Advance praise: 'The 2013 edition of the Small Arms Survey provides valuable insight into the uses of firearms by organized criminal groups. The information it contains will be of interest to those looking to understand and ultimately prevent armed violence by such groups.' Don Luigi Ciotti, President, Libera (Italy)
