Guns 360 offers a comprehensive and practical perspective on the complex issues surrounding firearm possession, regulation, and control, which have significant implications for both the criminal justice system and society as a whole. These issues transcend all societal dimensions and are of concern to individuals from various backgrounds, including members of the general public, law enforcement, academics, politicians, public health agencies, and the media. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to gain a thorough understanding of the multifaceted nature of firearms-related matters. Firearm-related concerns extend beyond mere ownership and possession, encompassing issues such as school shootings, mass shootings, firearm regulation and licensing, domestic violence incidents, and the use of firearms by individuals with mental illnesses. These incidents not only result in tragic loss of life but also create complex challenges for policymakers, law enforcement, and the broader community. The marketing, messaging, and purchasing of firearms are influenced by a range of criminological, sociological, and psychological factors, which are used to manipulate commercial behavior. Guns 360 brings together academics from diverse fields, including criminology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, economics, communications, and practical experts with law enforcement, military, management, forensics, public health, medicine, and digital forensics backgrounds. This multidisciplinary approach aims to enhance our understanding of firearms and their impact on society from various perspectives. While firearms will likely remain a contentious topic, increased knowledge, understanding, and discussion of the complex issues involved in these debates can help inform policy decisions and promote a safer and more responsible approach to firearm ownership and use.
