This volume of Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance addresses a
variety of issues and concerns involved with the study of violent
crime and homicide in the contemporary world. The chapters are
conceived against the background of the enduring nature of violence
and killing in the modern age, despite trends towards increased
levels of civilization and the protection of rights. Whilst it is
clear that the world of today is, in many respects, a better place,
violence and homicide remain and even increase from time to time
and from place to place. Each chapter tackles key questions of how
and why these problematic forms of behaviour continue to exist.
Specifically, chapters examine the killing of children, responses
to domestic abuse, female killers, incidents of racial and
religious violence, the dynamics of violence on college campuses,
the role of police and state institutions in relation to violence,
and global aspects of violence and murder. This book will be of
interest to scholars and students in criminology, sociology,
criminal justice, and public policy.
