Gun violence causes significant harm across Australian communities. Excluding sexual assault, firearms feature in nearly one in 10 violent crimes. The annual costs of gun violence run into tens of millions of dollars. This project aims to make an original qualitative contribution to understanding and preventing gun violence in three contexts: drug dealing/trafficking, other organised crime activity, and armed robbery. The proposed research would be the first study nationally - and one of the very few internationally - to interview convicted gun crime users about the acquisition and use of firearms in criminal life. Project results are expected to have direct implications for reducing the impact of gun violence in Australia.

枪支暴力在整个澳大利亚社区造成了巨大的危害。除了性侵犯，近十分之一的暴力犯罪中都有枪支。枪支暴力每年造成的损失高达数千万美元。该项目旨在为理解和预防三种情况下的枪支暴力作出原创性的定性贡献：毒品交易/贩运、其他有组织犯罪活动和武装抢劫。这项拟议的研究将是全国范围内的第一项研究，也是国际上为数不多的就犯罪生活中获取和使用枪支的问题采访被判有罪的枪支犯罪使用者的研究之一。预计项目结果将对减少澳大利亚枪支暴力的影响产生直接影响。
