So No One Has a Clue What's Going on with Canada's Red Flag Law?
Red Flag Laws
Summary
This article critiques common methods for evaluating the effectiveness of red flag laws, specifically referencing Canada's law. The author argues that simply counting the number of orders issued is not a valid measure of success. Instead, effectiveness should be judged by outcomes such as a drop in violent crime, a decrease in suicides, or subsequent orders issued after an initial extreme risk protection order.
