Summary : Gun-crime is an interesting phenomenon because, although statistically quite rare in Canada, they are 'signal crimes', that is crimes that signal cause for fear and alarm. This presentation will describe the development of gun-crime phenomena over a period of about three decades and up to the recent past. It further speculates on the consequences for social order in Canada as the gun-crime trope evolved.
