While Wright, Rossi, and Daly is good, it isn't in the same league as
Kleck's "Point Blank: Guns & Violence in America" (Aldine de Gruyter,
200 Saw Mill River Road, Hawthorne, NY).  Wright, Rossi, Daly is a
literature review which resulted in additional research found in
Kleck.  (Kleck also contains a more comprehensive review.)

Wright and Rossi's next work may unseat Point Blank, but they
published it because they thought it unseated UtG.
