In recent years, there has been a surge in school shootings,
workplace homicides, hate violence, and deadly terrorist attacks in
the United States. This has resulted in a greater focus on
homicidal behavior, its antecedents, ways to recognize warning
signs of at-risk victims and offenders, and preventive measures. It
has also led to increased efforts by lawmakers to create and pass
tough crime legislation as well as improved federal, state, and
local law enforcement response to murder and other violent crimes.
The Dynamics of Murder: Kill or Be Killed is a multifaceted probe
of murder offenses, offenders, victims, and characteristics of
homicide in American society. This book breaks new ground in
homicide studies by examining issues generally ignored or neglected
among researchers. Topics include murders occurring in the
workplace and in schools, those perpetrated by gangs and
terrorists, those incited by bias, and intimate and intrafamilial
murders. The book discusses sexual killers, serial and mass
murderers, and suicide. It also examines psychological and
sociological theories on murder and violence, as well as the
increasing role the Internet plays in these crimes. Case studies of
actual murderers are included, including serial killers Gerald and
Charlene Gallego, mass murderer Byran Koji Uyesugi, the
murder/suicide case of Sahel Kazemi, and the intrafamilial murders
committed by Charles Stuart and Sarah Marie Johnson. A
comprehensive exploration of the crime of murder in American
society, this fascinating study is an essential resource for
researchers, criminologists, and other professionals in a wide
range of disciplines.
