SSRN Ranking

This week the CPRC has the fourth most downloaded academic paper at the Social Science Research Network. The Social Science Research Network has 820,883 research papers from 395,351 researchers from across 30 disciplines. Our research on country comparisons of mass public shootings ranks second.

Hopefully, the fact that the paper is getting downloaded so much will encourage even more academics to look at it more closely.
