This dissertation evaluates the hypothesis that the implementation of stringent firearm control in South Africa will significantly decrease levels of violent crime. First, the specific dynamics of violent crime in this country are examined, in order to establish whether firearm control constitutes a fitting response to the problem. Second, some of the important theoretical underpinnings of the firearms control debate are considered. 2014-07-30T03:52:15Z 2014-07-30T03:52:15Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MDemGov http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3793 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
