- Authors
Light, Caroline; Thomas, Janae; Yakubovich, Alexa; Ulrich, Michael R.
- Abstract
This paper evaluates the existing research on Stand Your Ground (SYG) laws in terms of the extent to which it has accounted for gender. In particular, we address (a) what the available evidence suggests are the gender-based impacts of SYG laws and (b) where, how, and why considerations of gender may be missing in available studies.
