The crime of homicide has long animated academic debate, community
concern and political attention. The discussion has often centered
on the perceived (in)adequacy of legal responses to homicide,
questions of culpability, and divergent representations of victims
and offenders. Within this, notions of gender, responsibility and
justice are pivotal. This edited collection builds on existing
scholarship by examining these concerns not only in the context of
the 'private' world of domestic murder but also in the more
'public' world of the state, the corporation, war, and genocide. In
so doing this book draws from key frameworks of criminological
thought, legal analysis and empirical evidence to critically
examine the relationship between homicide, gender and
responsibility. Bringing together leading international criminology
and legal scholars, this collection provides a unique contribution
to the academic and policy engagement with what is, more often than
not, an ordinary and mundane crime. Analysing the crime in a
variety of different social contexts alongside an in-depth and
critical analysis of the interconnections between the ordinary act
of lethal violence, gender and notions of responsibility, this book
will be of interest to students, scholars and policymakers working
in criminology and socio-legal studies.
