Excerpt / Summary

"We recognize that a lot of the gun‑policy debate in Washington, D.C. will hinge on how different people value the tradeoffs associated with different policy approaches," said Jens Ludwig, director of the Crime Lab and a co-author of the letter, in an e-mail to ScienceInsider. "Right now the research community is hampered in its ability to inform policymakers about the expected benefits and costs of different policy approaches because of politically‑motivated limits on data access, and substantial federal under‑funding of research on gun violence."
