Armed and Considered Dangerous: A Survey of Felons and Their Firearms

by Peter H. Rossi, Peter H. Rossi

This updated volume from Professors Wright and Rossi is part of a larger, continuing research program, focused on the acquisition, carrying, and use of guns and other weapons in the commission of criminal acts. For this expanded edition, Dr. Wright has prepared a new preface, exploring the more recent legislative developments in the debate on guns and violence, engaging the lines of criticism that this book originally encountered, touching on assault weapons, and citing the literature subsequent to the first edition.
