tailieunhanh - How Youthful Offenders Perceive Gun Violence

Because the effectiveness of deterrence or inducements depends, in part, on the perceptions of the target population, this study was conducted to explore youthful offendersÕ perceptions associated with gun carrying, use, and victimization. The study may help those designing violence reduction strategies better understand what may be more or less likely to deter or otherwise affect youth gun violence. | DOCUMENTED BRIEFING RAND How Youthful Offenders Perceive Gun Violence Julie H.
