Guns and Violence - Paperback

by Debra A. Miller (Editor)

Every day on average, 48 children and teens in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police interventions. This anthology contains a diverse collection of essays about guns and gun violence. Taken together, they offer a wide array of views on the issues surrounding the topic. Disparate viewpoints of complex issues are encapsulated in each chapter with the use of a question-and-response format. Students are encouraged to see the validity of divergent opinions, so that they may understand the topic inclusively. Important facts, perfect for report writing, are dispersed throughout in eye-catching boxed insets.
