They've taken a leaf from Dr. Kellerman's book of excuses. If they used a dataset, they should provide it. Otherwise no one can replicate "their" results and you are relegated to taking their conclusions "on faith." That isn't science, not even social science.

>>> "Guy Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/18/06 11:20 AM >>> I'm trying to track down the datasets of homicide and firearm homicide used by Baker and McPhedran in "GUN LAWS AND SUDDEN DEATH - Did the Australian Firearms Legislation of 1996 Make a Difference?". I've contacted the authors, but "given the sensitive of the subject matter" they are referring all inquires to Australian authorities, who have proven to be unhelpful (evidentially pre-1988 data was culled from a book titled "Source book of Australian criminal & social statistics, 1804-1988" and thus electronic table data rare). Anyone have this data already entered, or even perhaps digitized pages from the source reference?
