商品描述
Gun violence is a vexing problem in the US that needs little explanation. Adequate information and insight are still lacking about ownership and use of firearms, the causes and consequences of their use, and the effects of interventions and technological innovations. The sociological context and the implications on health and on law enforcement involve a variety of disciplines; the spectrum of questions that arise affects policymakers at all levels. Implicit is that obtaining adequate information and understanding requires data of high quality and analyses that can withstand scrutiny by all concerned.
This book provides an overview of adequate data and informative analyses on several important topics in gun violence research. This book exposes the opportunities and needs for the latest statistical efforts and engages new statisticians and data scientists to work across disciplinary lines to help understand and mitigate the effects of gun violence.
Key Features:
- Provides multi-disciplinary perspectives from researchers in criminology, political science, public policy, public health, sociology, and statistics and present their latest efforts in gun violence research across disciplinary lines.
- Provides an overview of the state-of-the-art statistical and machine learning methods in gun violence research, including network models, synthetic control methods, point processes models, and neural networks.
- Provides a comprehensive review of data sources and describes the evolution of the quality of these data and the reasons for the biases in the historical data sources.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
槍支暴力是美國一個令人困擾的問題，無需多加解釋。關於槍支的擁有與使用、其使用的原因與後果，以及干預措施和技術創新的影響，仍然缺乏足夠的信息和見解。社會學背景及其對健康和執法的影響涉及多個學科；所產生的問題範圍影響各級政策制定者。隱含的意思是，獲得足夠的信息和理解需要高質量的數據和能夠經得起各方檢驗的分析。
本書提供了有關槍支暴力研究中幾個重要主題的充分數據和信息分析的概述。本書揭示了最新統計努力的機會和需求，並鼓勵新的統計學家和數據科學家跨學科合作，以幫助理解和減輕槍支暴力的影響。
主要特點：
- 提供來自犯罪學、政治學、公共政策、公共衛生、社會學和統計學等研究者的多學科視角，並展示他們在槍支暴力研究中的最新努力。
- 概述槍支暴力研究中最先進的統計和機器學習方法，包括網絡模型、合成控制方法、點過程模型和神經網絡。
- 提供數據來源的全面回顧，並描述這些數據質量的演變及歷史數據來源偏差的原因。
