TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The Impact of Poverty, Fear of Crime, and Crime Victimization on Keeping Firearms for Protection and Unsafe Gun-Storage Practices: A Review and Analysis With Policy Recommendations JO - Urban education A1 - Vacha, Edward F. A1 - McLaughlin, T. F. SP - 496 EP - 510 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - Reviews the literature on firearms accidents among young, poor, urban children. Evidence suggests that deciding to keep a gun for protection is a practical response to perceived living conditions. Reducing the consequences of risky gun behavior among poor families requires policies and programs that eliminate experiences associated with such behavior and train children to recognize and avoid risky gun situations.
