Mass Shootings in Central and Eastern EuropeConclusion

Mass Shootings in Central and Eastern Europe: Conclusion [This chapter overviews the results of empirical investigations produced throughout the book and delves into the implications of these findings for scholarship on mass shootings. It discusses the merits of Cumulative Strain Theory and offers suggestions for future improvements that can be made to this framework. The chapter also engages with the intriguing question of whether mass shootings will continue to be extremely rare occurrences of homicide in CEE states when compared to the US context. Through summarizing different angles of the empirical analyses produced in this book, the chapter suggests that there have been fewer mass shootings in CEE countries due to a configuration of factors including low rates of civilian armament, strict firearm regulations, gun license requirements, and better mental health care access than in the United States. It remains to be seen whether the repellent effect of these different factors will remain salient in keeping the incident frequency of mass shootings low in times ahead across CEE states.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter overviews the results of empirical investigations produced throughout the book and delves into the implications of these findings for scholarship on mass shootings. It discusses the merits of Cumulative Strain Theory and offers suggestions for future improvements that can be made to this framework. The chapter also engages with the intriguing question of whether mass shootings will continue to be extremely rare occurrences of homicide in CEE states when compared to the US context. Through summarizing different angles of the empirical analyses produced in this book, the chapter suggests that there have been fewer mass shootings in CEE countries due to a configuration of factors including low rates of civilian armament, strict firearm regulations, gun license requirements, and better mental health care access than in the United States. It remains to be seen whether the repellent effect of these different factors will remain salient in keeping the incident frequency of mass shootings low in times ahead across CEE states.]
