Should police be routinely armed? If so, what restrictions should be imposed on the use of firearms? Where police are not routinely armed, there is still a need for specialist armed police: how do these units operate, and are they effective? This ground-breaking edited book explores the nexus between policing and firearms with a genuinely international focus. Contributors from Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Venezuela, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada explore the issues from a range of perspectives, including human rights, militarization, police legitimacy, and the risks police firearms pose to the community and to police themselves. This thought-provoking collection is an indispensable resource for law enforcement policymakers and students of policing and criminal justice. 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aPublic health 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aCrime and Society 606 $aCriminology 606 $aPublic Health 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 14$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aCriminology. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a364.4 676 $a363.23 700 $aFarmer$b Clare$0995618 702 $aEvans$b Richard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910624312303321 996 $aPolicing & Firearms$94451383 997 $aUNINA
