Weapon Control in Costa Rica
Controlling the Proliferation of Weapons
Affiliate:Costa Rica
Location:San Jose, Costa Rica
Created:5/24/2009
Last Update:5/24/2009
Project Goal: To Control weapon proliferation in Costa Rica

Root Cause: Costa Rica has seen an influx of very cheap weapons through its borders. As gun violence increases, more and more citizens of Costa Rica are buying weapons in the hope of self-defense.

Project Plan: We observed evidence of more gun violence on the news. We polled students about their experiences with gun violence. We read about gun violence and its impacts on the internet.
