The general argument made by Ellen M. Banner in her work, “When pit bulls attack…,” is that the control of pit bulls is a question that should be answered in favor of public safety. More specifically, Banner argues that the person being attacked by a dog doesn’t care about it’s usual behavior it cares about it’s breed. She writes, “Current restrictions tend to focus on behavior only”. In this passage, Banner is suggesting that just focusing on a single dog’s behavior isn’t sufficient. In conclusion, Banner’s belief is that the breed of pit bulls is dangerous in general.

The sentence you quote doesn't seem to perfectly represent the idea you cite as the main argument in the piece, stating what current practice (which is just factual) rather than stating her opinion, which is that current practice ought to be changed. In general, you should try to quote passages that DIRECTLY support your contention. Otherwise, quite clear!
