An overview of the global small arms trade is provided at the beginning alongside a comparative analysis of common challenges and significant differences across the regions. This book speaks to those in Criminology, International Relations, Public Policy, International Security, Public health andLaw, and to civil society organizations, think tanks, research centers, policy analysts and policy makers involved in gun control debates.
