Recenzje

'The Small Arms Survey 2008: Risk and Resilience demonstrates the need to – and our ability to – reduce armed violence by focusing on preventive efforts rather than solely punitive measures. The evidence-based public health approach allows us to understand the risk of violence in a community, design targeted violence reduction interventions, and measure the effectiveness of these programmes in building safer communities.' Dr Vappu Taipale, Co-president, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), and former Finnish Minister of Health
