This model was selected for the evaluation because of its ability to capture variations across space and time. Indexes used in the model and measured at the provincial level as independent variables included unemployment rate, percentage Status Indian, percentage immigrant, percentage male youth, and clearance rate. Results were consistent with findings of most previous studies, that Canada's firearms legislation did not have a significant effect on homicide. Strongest explanatory factors were percentage Status Indian and male youth. The authors suggest that policy initiatives other than Canada's firearms law may be more effective in reducing homicide.
