Rezensionen

'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)
