Stranger Vs Non Stranger Homicide

Gun control does not lead to a lower murder rate (Ten myth about gun control). Like i just touched on the murder rate would actually increase instead of decrease. This is caused like i previously said lack of protection and with this comes over worked police forces trying to fill the void lead to a less successful police force. No correlation has been found tieing gun control to lower murder rates (Ten myth about gun control). No really successful data has been found to prove this hypothesis. The only data that has been found contradicts it.

With the popular culture providing positive images of guns, the United States has a gun prevalence that is very rare in the modern world. While many people appreciate the “gun culture”, guns are heavily involved in violence in the United States. According to U.S. Department of Justice, since 1960, more than 750,000 Americans have died under firearms, including homicides, suicides, and unintentional injuries. The figure 1 provides a comprehensive survey of U.S. violent crimes for the period from 1993 to 2011.This figure illustrates that from 1993 to 2011, about 60% to 70% of homicides were associated with a firearm. Over the same period, between 6% and 9% of all nonfatal violence, with about 20% to 30% of robberies and 22% to 32% of aggravated assaults involving a firearm.

On the opposing side, some others may say that the equation of more guns equals less crime is absolutely absurd. Sabina Thaler the author against guns states “crime victims uniformly use guns in self-defense is false. Women, for example, are less likely to use guns to protect themselves and are in fact in greater danger when doing so.” This statistic will help show that even if you have a gun to protect yourself, you might put

1. According McGinty, Professor and Phd. at Johns Hopkins University, recent research by the University has shown that people who report having access to firearms are twice as likely to be a victim of homicide and three times more likely to commit

Gun control activists have a tendency to use the mantra that more guns means more deaths. Gun control activists will also point out to the U.S. murder rate and compare it to England’s as further proof. However, the mantra that more guns means more death has been proven to be patently false when compared to multiple European countries, where there is no direct correlation between gun ownership and murder rate (Kates & Mauser, n.d., p652). Furthermore, Kates & Mauser (n.d., p653) went on to show that there is actually a negative correlation between firearm concentration and violent crimes. Ehrenfreund & Godlfarb (2015) referenced a study conducted in 2011 by an economist named Richard Florida, using a graphic he made created showing states with tighter gun laws had fewer gun related deaths per capita. This has also been refuted by the research of Kates & Mauser where it was

As far as overall gun violence is concerned, according to the FBI's 1998 Uniform Crime Reports, the overall violent crime rate in the US decreased about 7%. Robbery alone declined by 11%, the lowest since 1969. In addition, murder dropped by 7%, the lowest since 1967. More significantly, despite the fact the number of firearms and handguns owned by individual Americans continued to increase from 1997-1998, the FBI also reported the rate of firearms used to commit murder and robberies decreased in 1998. (1998 Uniform Crime Reports). These facts conclusively prove that firearms owned by peaceable citizens do not lead to increased murder or violent crime rates. In fact, they demonstrate that armed citizens lead to reduced rates of violent crime. When the gun is in the hands of a well-rounded person, it is no more of a weapon than your every day curling iron.

If there are more guns, there is less crime. There were 7 firearm-related gun homicides for every 100,000 people in 1993. In 2013, the gun homicide rate decreased nearly 50 percent to 3.6 homicides per 100,000

Firstly, homicide equals the killing of someone. It contains the two offences murder and

Subtopics: Gun purchasing, homicide rate in the United States and other countries, the impact gun purchasing has on homicide rates.

Statistics show that less guns do lead to less crime a study of Harvard shows it Harvard said “The more guns Americans have the more violence will come to America”(Harvard).

Gun laws are a subject many people feel strongly about, and as with any subject people feel strongly about there are no shortage of data and statistics that seem to support either side. I decided to look into any correlation I could find between gun laws and deaths in the US. Just like with political parties and deficit spending I didn't really have any expectations, but would probably guess that there wasn't much correlation.

Homicide is the act when a person is killing other people. Homicide has been studied from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Biological, psychological, and sociological theories have been described to determine the etiology and epidemiology of violence and homicide. (Miethe & Regoeczi, 2004).

Firstly, the claims that guns contributing to higher crime rates are completely over exaggerated. Most people are spoon-fed by the mainstream media that guns contribute to higher crime rates. In fact, in large cities like Chicago it

Mark Duggan researched the correlation between gun ownership and committed crimes. He discovered in a ten percent increase of gun ownership associated with a 1.42 percent increase in homicide rates. In his finding he came to support the theory that gun ownership increase other crime rates as well as an increase in homicide rate.

Homicide can be defined as the measured and illicit killing of one person by annother or murder. Granting, not all homicides are crimes; killing someone to protect yourself and your own citizenship,is not
