New Paper Up



 Abstract: As part of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports system, the FBI gathers and reports both civilian and police officer justifiable homicide statistics.  The methods by which these numbers are gathered makes them gross undercounts of the actual legal, defensive homicides by citizens.  Furthermore, comparing the civilian justifiable homicide numbers to criminal homicides for public policy cost/benefit analysis understates the crime reducing effects of civilian gun ownership.
Because Violence Policy Center is misrepresenting the FBI's justifiable homicide numbers.
