The Small Arms Survey 2008 examines the problem of diversion and analyses the public health approach to armed violence.

The Small Arms Survey 2008 presents two thematic sections. The first examines the problem of diversion in all its aspects: stockpiles, surplus disposal, international transfers, and end-user documentation. It includes a case study on South Africa and a comic strip illustrating the potential ease by which someone with access to forged documentation can make arrangements to ship munitions virtually anywhere. The second thematic section analyses the public health approach to armed violence, scrutinizing risk and resilience factors and considering related interventions. It includes an overview of the burden of armed violence, and two case studies of armed violence in El Salvador and the United States. A chapter on light weapons production rounds out the volume.

Arvustused

'The Small Arms Survey 2008: Risk and Resilience provides compelling evidence for expanding our approach to armed violence reduction from one focused on treating symptoms to one that also aims at prevention. This volume shines a light on public health-based efforts to identify risk and resilience factors of armed violence as well as a number of recent interventions. The 2008 Survey is a vital resource for policy-makers at all levels in our continuing collective work to protect populations at risk.' Bernard Kouchner, French Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs 'The Small Arms Survey 2008: Risk and Resilience demonstrates the need to and our ability to reduce armed violence by focusing on preventive efforts rather than solely punitive measures. The evidence-based public health approach allows us to understand the risk of violence in a community, design targeted violence reduction interventions, and measure the effectiveness of these programmes in building safer communities.' Dr Vappu Taipale, Co-president, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), and former Finnish Minister of Health

The Small Arms Survey is an independent research project located at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland. It serves as the principal source of public information on all aspects of small arms and armed violence and as a resource centre for governments, policy-makers, researchers, and activists. The project has an international staff with expertise in security studies, political science, law, economics, development studies, and sociology, and collaborates with a network of partners in more than 50 countries.
