The first comprehensive textbook specifically designed for criminology students who are interested in studying homicide is a groundbreaking work that delves into the multifaceted nature of this violent crime. As the authors elucidate, criminal homicide represents only one type of lethal violence that victims may encounter, leading them to encompass a much broader spectrum of scenarios. This range includes murder, manslaughter, state-sanctioned killings, genocide, and disasters resulting from public policy failures, corporate wrongdoing, or lapses in health and safety. By reorienting the discussion around homicide, Making Sense of Homicide aims to provide a deeper understanding of the topic for those seeking to go beyond the superficial media hype and ill-informed popular discourse.
The book also features a special expert contribution by former Police Superintendent Ronald Winch, who offers valuable insights into the UK police's approach to investigating homicide, including the essential requirements and potential pitfalls. The scope of the book is expansive, covering serial killing, mass and spree homicide, and cases across various jurisdictions in the UK, USA, and other countries. Additionally, the text interweaves acutely observed accounts of the Holocaust, capital punishment, and homicide within a consumer society, providing a multi-faceted perspective on this complex issue.
The authors not only explain the conventional categories within which homicide is discussed but also shed light on crimes committed by the powerful and those that are deliberately made opaque for political, economic, or other questionable purposes. This insightful analysis makes the work an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to examine violence through a new lens, challenging preconceived notions and providing a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that drive homicide.
