| Popis: |
Violent victimization has often been linked to firearm availability. This research aims to investigate the relationship between firearm availability and the prevalence of violent victimization in several European countries. As firearms legislation differs considerably within European countries, we expect this variation to impact and explain national victimization rates of violent crime. Data on firearm prevalence are obtained through the International Crime Victimization Survey (ICVS), an internationally standardized victimization survey covering over 78 countries. Data were collected in during five sweeps and are available for the years 1989–2005. Data on homicide rates are taken from the European Sourcebook of Crime and Criminal Justice Statistics. |
