Publisher Synopsis
'The Small Arms Survey 2007: Guns and the City connects the dots between the individuals and organizations whose inaction or actions affect levels of armed violence at the municipal, national, regional, and international levels. In so doing, and in reminding us that we have the means to improve security, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with mitigating the suffering armed violence causes families and communities around the world.' Antanas Mockus, Former Mayor of Bogota, Colombia (1995-97 and 2000--04) 'The Small Arms Survey 2007 demonstrates that policies and programmes designed to prevent and reduce urban armed violence must take account of both perceptions of insecurity and real crime rates. In reviewing the scale, distribution, and effects of apparent and actual urban violence, this volume emphasizes the importance of providing the robust evidence essential to shape practical interventions. Only multi-dimensional and multi-sector approaches will ensure that cities are safer.'
