SUMMARY:More Guns\, Less Murder? Unpacking Recent Trends in Homicide\, Gun Ownership\, and Gun Policy in America
DESCRIPTION:Private gun ownership in America has surged in the past several years\, even as authorities have intensified enforcement against illegal firearms—cracking down on “ghost” guns\, tightening oversight of licensed dealers\, and seizing more weapons from the streets. Meanwhile\, violent crime\, particularly homicide\, saw a historic rise followed by a historic decline. \nJoin the Council on Criminal Justice’s Centering Justice project and leading experts for a conversation about how gun policies\, enforcement strategies\, and market dynamics are shaping gun violence trends today—and the implications for policy and strategy. \nLearn more and REGISTER \n
