Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding offers an in-depth
analysis into the phenomenon of homicide, examining different types
of homicide and how these types have changed over time. Based on
original analysis on Scottish data, this book draws upon an
international body of research to contextualize the findings in a
global setting, filling an important gap in the homicide literature
pertaining to the relationship between trends in homicide and
violence. Examining homicide from gendered as well as Gothic
perspectives, this book also relates homicide to novel, critical
theory. The book covers a thorough description of different types
of homicide, including sexual homicide, and provides an explorative
approach to the identification of homicide subtypes. The book also
explores how these findings relate to current homicide theory, and
proposes a new theoretical framework to gain a deeper understanding
of this crime. The main argument of the book is that if homicide
and its relationship to wider violence is to be fully understood,
theoretically as well as empirically, this crime needs to be
disaggregated in a way that reflects the underlying data. Overall,
this book therefore fills an important gap in criminological
literature, providing an in-depth understanding of one of the most
serious violent crimes.
