Abstract
This chapter looks at the impact of gun crime on communities and the ease with which such crime can cross physical and other boundaries, making it a signal crime that must be addressed through effective collaboration between Law Enforcement Agencies across EU Member States. It further considers barriers that exist between the disparate disciplines of investigation, intelligence and scientific examination of evidence and potential changes to law that may be required to facilitate a true EU wide interoperable gun crime system.
