Stanford Researchers Link Right-To-Carry Gun Laws With Rise In Violent Crime

STANFORD (CBS SF) — New research is bound to fuel the debate over the impact of so-called right-to-carry (RTC) laws on crime.
Gun advocates have insisted that crime goes down when law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry concealed weapons in public.
A new study at Stanford that looked at crime data over a period of more than two decades and found violent crime rates actually increased when states adopted RTC laws.
Their research, ‘The Impact of Right to Carry Laws and the NRC Report: The Latest Lessons for the Empirical Evaluation of Law and Policy,’ was published in last month’s Social Science Research Network.
A co-author of the study, Professor John J. Donohue III, said, “The totality of the evidence based on educated judgments about the best statistical models suggests that right-to-carry laws are associated with substantially higher rates” of aggravated assault, rape, robbery and murder.
The researchers found an 8% increase in aggravated assault. Gun aggravated assaults increased by almost 33%.

For those not in academia read: "We used our judgment/bias to choose data that for our agenda. Then, we used that data to confirm our bias by suggestion not fact."

Sounds like these guys have an agenda. So this will be a top story on all 3 networks' national broadcasts.

they can create their own laws up there and suffer from the results. Keep that shite out of here. Posted on 11/10/15 at 7:40 am to Street Hawk

Well, this video disproves the "study".
I really think these people doing the study manipulated data to make it match their agenda.

No kidding, we could examine whether the law directly impacted rates of violent crime by assessing whether those lawfully carrying committed crimes.
OR
We could try hard to find some correlation that'll help our narrative.
fricking morons.

That is the sort of idiocy I would expect to come out of Cal-Berkeley, not Stanford.

What is the cause-effect hypothesis here?
How could right to carry laws lead to higher rates of those crimes? How could that be possible?
Are we to believe that people who commit rapes are influenced by whether the law allows them to carry a gun legally?
I don't get it.

The researchers have mixed up cause and effect. Higher crime rates (or at least perceived higher rates) have spurred more law-abiding citizens to push for right to carry laws.

Just look at the internals. A 3rd grader could have done better.
To put this in perspective "Stanford University, located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of California's Silicon Valley ..."
