Dear Dr. Crime: The 2nd amendment to the US Constitution says “…the right of the people to keep
and bear Arms shall not be infringed” so what is the big deal? I carry my pistol and feel safer, and know
there is less crime because of citizen’s carry rights. And I bet you will tell me the research says guns help
and not hurt, correct? Bang Bang Billy
Dear Billy. I wish I could tell you the research on the effects of guns is clear, but I cannot. I
am a gun owner and have a carry permit, so I know your concerns. The May issue of Science
News reviewed the research on “gun control” and found the evidence is not clear. Also it
found the restrictions on information about who has guns, who buys them and other ownership
issues prevents comprehensive research from being done. It is an important issue. In
2013 there were 33,636 people to die from gun injuries, most of which were suicides. Because
the research is so inadequate, my best answer is to keep the conversation going, support
research, and keep your power dry.
Dear Dr. Crime: What can we do so our Prisons work better? Victim
Dear Victim: What a question!!!! That hits to the heart of criminology and criminal justice.
There is much I could and will write about concerning the effectiveness and efficiency of
programs to change behavior and reduce the number of crime victims, but for now let me
point out something new. The September 2015 issue of Popular Mechanics reports on work
by architects to design prisons better. Because the environment has not been a point of major
concerns for criminologists, as least as the architects have defined it, this may bring a real advance
to our field. Among the changes to a new prison design, created as a woman’s prison in
San Diego, were larger windows providing more light, better acoustics so as to reduce stress,
campus style housing for low security inmates, and attention to educational settings.
We must follow these developments.
