在英格兰和威尔士，涉及使用枪支的犯罪约占所有有记录的犯罪的0.4%，自1990年代中后期以来翻了一番(Povey和Kaiza，2006：81)。这一增长是在日益严格的立法和更加复杂的公共政策反应的背景下发生的。与此同时，少数备受瞩目和令人震惊的枪杀案引发了公众对非法枪支问题的相当大的关注。警方、政客和媒体报道描述了犯罪“枪支文化”的出现，特别是在英格兰的一些市中心地区。然而，人们对非法枪支的犯罪态度和市场知之甚少，限制了政策的制定、警务实践和对枪支立法影响的了解。
Crimes involving the use of firearms comprise around 0.4 per cent of all recorded offences in England and Wales and have doubled since the mid to late-1990s (Povey and Kaiza, 2006: 81). This increase has occurred against a background of increasingly restrictive legislation and ever more sophisticated public policy responses. At the same time, a small number of high-profile and shocking firearm homicides have raised considerably public concerns about the problem of illegal firearms. Police, politicians and media reports have described the emergence of a criminal ‘gun culture’, particularly in some inner-city areas in England. Relatively little is known, however, about criminal attitudes towards and the market in illegal firearms, limiting the development of policy, policing practice and an understanding of the impact of firearms legislation.
