A community or sub-culture encouraging young men s exposure and obsession with guns - as well as ready access to firearms and drugs - can make gun violence all too easy , with Flinders University experts promoting a new direction on managing the global problem.
Flinders criminologists conclude that the need to dematerialise the attraction to gun has never been greater than in a post-COVID-19 world in which guns have gained greater salience in many countries .

Criminology & Criminal Justice, argues that guns and drugs need to be more difficult to acquire and importantly less valued in popular culture to make them less attractive for criminals.
