en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2007
The Small Arms Survey is an independent research project located at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. It serves as the principal international source of public information on all aspects of small arms and armed violence, and as a resource centre for governments, policy-makers, researchers, and activists. The Small Arms Survey 2007: Guns and the City offers new and updated information on small arms production, stockpiles, transfers, and measures, including a special focus on transfer controls. This year's thematic section explores the complex issue of urban violence with case studies on Burundi and Brazil as well as a photo essay by award-winning combat photographer Lucian Read. This edition also features chapters on lessons learned from the tracing of ammunition, the relationship between gun prices and conflict, and the role of small arms in South Sudan.

Recenzii

'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 Bogotá, 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.' Professor Caroline Moser, Global Urban Research Centre, University of Manchester
