نبذة مختصرة : In 1987, Florida passed a Right to Carry Law, allowing citizens to purchase a concealed weapons license. Bill proponents believe that an armed citizenry will deter crime. This study examines the relationship between gun control legislation and violent crime in Florida. By using multiple regression analysis, I conclude that gun control legislation has a significant effect on homicide rates, and the presence of national economic conditions is associated with violent crime in Florida. ; by Sunil Mathews. ; Thesis (B.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, Honors College, 2009. ; Includes bibliography. ; Electronic reproduction.
