Nationally, in the five years to June 2001, handgun homicide as a proportion of firearm homicide grew from 13 per cent to 50 per cent (Mouzos, 2001, 2002a).
Public concern at the level of illicit firearm trafficking in Australia - particularly the trade in handguns, which were used in 67 per cent of all armed robberies in 2001 - has risen accordingly (Chulov & Videnieks, 2002; The Age, 2002; Sutton, 2002).
