Request reason:

What is the meaning of this intrusion? I am a highly distinguished criminologist whose attention was requested by a dear, esteemed colleague of many years, after I had been informed that Wikipedia was still posting the James Kleck hoax on its "defensive gun use." That man's work is a hoax which was proven to be fraudulent 20 years ago and has been so effectively debunked that no one will have lunch with him at the annual criminology conferences. He sits and eats his soup alone (aside from his many concealed guns.) my expertise was requested from very wise friends after they saw how outrageous some of the claims being made on Wikipedia are. We know that there are 1600 police reports of defensive gun use per year and the high end of estimates which are not debunked is about 50-100,000 because more than that would imply that more than 10-20 percent of attempted crimes are prevented by gun, which is not believable, and that more than 99 percent of DGUs go unreported to police. The range is 1600-50,000. This article erroneously states the range is 50,000-33 million. You might as well give space to anti-vaccination advocates, flat-earther, phlogiston theories, and Lamarckian evolutionists, so debunked are Kleck's theories.

Indeed, I suspect this article was written by Kleck himself. DistinguishedCriminologist (talk) 18:21, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
