Abstract

Crime of all kinds drops almost by half in Milan, Italy, during the vacation month of August. This article documents the across-the-board decrease and contrasts this pattern with U.S. cities that display very little seasonal variation in offenses. Since the opportunities to commit offenses do nor drop precipitously, the Milan pattern suggests that crime rates drop because offenders voluntarily reduce the level of their criminal activity. This propensity of of offenders to take time off in August reflects Italian social values and illustrates the important linkage between general cultural conditions and patterns of crime

Abstract

The connection between firearms and violence has not received adequate research attention in the past. This paper proposes a research agenda that should explore (1) the effects of firearm use on the costs of violence; (2) the extent to which particular interventions can reduce the cost of violence by limiting use of firearms; and (3) the extent to which the benefits derived from firearm interventions are worth their public and private costs. The author identifies three priority research issues: the relationship between firearms and suicide; how to design interventions to reduce firearm use in violence; and how to evaluate the long-range costs and benefits of gun controls. Public health researchers can investigate many of the key issues in firearms and violence, but only if they expand their knowledge about guns and gun controls.
