  • More about Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding

Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding provides an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of homicide, examining different types of homicide and how these types have changed over time. It draws upon an international body of research to contextualize the findings in a global setting and relates homicide to novel, critical theory. The main argument of the book is that if homicide and its relationship to wider violence is to be fully understood, it needs to be disaggregated in a way that reflects the underlying data.

Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding delves into a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of homicide, exploring various types of homicide and their historical evolution. Drawing upon original analysis of Scottish data, this book incorporates a wealth of international research to contextualize its findings within a global framework, addressing a significant gap in the homicide literature regarding the relationship between trends in homicide and violence. By examining homicide from gendered and Gothic perspectives, the book also establishes connections with novel and critical theoretical frameworks.

The book offers a detailed account of different types of homicide, including sexual homicide, and employs an exploratory approach to identify and classify homicide subtypes. Furthermore, it explores how these findings align with current homicide theory and proposes a novel theoretical framework to enhance our understanding of this crime.

The central argument of the book is that to fully comprehend homicide and its relationship to broader violence, both theoretically and empirically, it is essential to disaggregate homicide data in a manner that reflects the underlying patterns.

In conclusion, Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding fills a crucial void in criminological literature by providing a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most severe violent crimes. Through its rigorous analysis, interdisciplinary approach, and novel theoretical framework, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of homicide and its implications for society.
