Controlling Small Arms: Consolidation, Innovation and Relevance in Research and Policy is a new book from the Small Arms Survey, published by Routledge, which maps out the evolution of our knowledge on small arms issues, and discusses practical implementation of programmes and processes, both at the national level and globally.

The two-part podcast brings together some of the chapter authors to reflect on 15 years of research and policy development in the area of small arms research and policies. In this first installment, chapter authors discuss the interaction between research and policy, describing the community involved in small arms issues, and their distinct perspectives.
