<strong>Background: </strong>The most serious crime in human history—reported as early as in the Bible—is homicide. One of the main causes of unnatural deaths is homicide, which is defined as the killing of one human being by another. The most severe type of violence, responsible homicide, is a major health issue that is pervasive throughout the world. An act of culpable homicide might be committed for a variety of reasons. Because of increased urbanization, rising stress levels, unemployment, and drug addiction, there are more responsible homicides every day. The act of killi

The mean death rate for homicide was 0.55 per 100,000. The ratio of male to female victims was 1:1, while 82% of the assailants were male and 18% were female. The victim and the assailant had a close family relationship in 58.7% of the cases. Dyadic death (homicide followed by suicide) accounted for 27% of all victims. Twenty-nine per cent of the victims were murdered by mentally unstable offenders, and in almost half (44%) of the cases the of

The injury severity in homicide victims was studied in the Stockholm area using both the Homicide Injury Scale (HIS) and the number of lethal injuries per victim. Cases were included from four periods; 1976-78, 1986-88, 1996-98, and 2006-08. The number of homicides with overkill according to the HIS was significantly higher in 1996-98 compared to 1976-78.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been used as a cause of death for over four decades. It has allowed deaths of infants to be registered as natural. Within this group of deaths, a certain number have been recognized to be homicides from inflicted smothering rather than being natural or accidental deaths. Research has been conducted using confidential inquires to determine how frequent homicide is in cases called SIDS. This paper traces the history of quoted rates of homicide. Early work suggested the figure was between 2-10% of all SIDS cases, though other workers have suggested figures

Abstract:

In the news media, there are regular reports of family caregivers killing the people for whom they care, but scholarly research on this phenomenon is fragmented, and there has been little effort to predict or prevent future deaths. The aim of this study was to develop a typology of caregiver-perpetrated homicides that could provide a framework for more rigorous research and targeted responses in policy and practice. Ideal Type Analysis was applied to sixty-four homicides and homicide–suicides perpetrated by family caregivers in England and Wales between January 2015 and December 2019. The case

Abstract:

One of American society’s enduring debates centers on the immigration and violent crime relationship. This classic debate is revisited using data for individual homicide incidents and census-tract-level homicides in Miami, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas, in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively. The article starts with these two comparative cases because they mirror the immigration influx, Latino growth, and homicide decline seen throughout the country since 1980. These findings are also replicated in an analysis of the immigration and crime influx across the nation using U.S. counties in 2000. I

Abstract:

According to the definition in Article 121 of the Brazilian Penal Code, intentional homicide refers to a criminal act with the intent to kill. This type of crime is one of the most severe offenses outlined in the penal legislation, given its irreversible impact on human life. The impunity in cases of intentional homicide is a multifaceted issue that involves legal, institutional, and social aspects. The problem of intentional homicides and impunity is a significant challenge in Criminal Law. This thesis will focus on exploring the reasons for impunity in cases of intentional homicide from a le

Abstract:

Childhood homicide during 1972 to 1984 constituted 7.6% of the total homicides in Erie County, NY, a relatively higher percentage than that for the United States as a whole. The age-specific rate for black children less than four years of age was 17.9 per 100,000, a rate higher than that for Northern Ireland. Areas in which childhood homicide occurred most frequently were characterized by poverty and unemployment. The most common cause of death was a blunt trauma. Most homicides occurred on a Saturday and during spring and fall. In most cases, the offender was the child's mother. Most homicide

Abstract:

Homicide is the most prevalent form of criminal offence in our country. It is also prevalent in other countries also. It is punishable under certain circumstances (Culpable Homicide) and not punishable under other circumstances (Excusable or justifiable Homicide). The punishment for homicide may be an imprisonment for life or even death sentence. A retrospective study was conducted on homicidal death in the Department of Forensic Medicine of Dinajpur Medical College. Above 300 cases were examined from January 2004 to December 2006 for 3 years. All the cases were referred from different police

Abstract:

The child homicides which were notified to the Leeds University Department of Forensic Medicine between 1970 and 1989 were studied. There were 131 cases, and information regarding age of victim, mode of death and post-mortem evidence of previous abuse was noted. The incidences of child homicide varied between 3 and 11 cases per year, the first three years of life providing the majority of cases. Blunt injury accounted for almost half of the deaths, whilst 34 per cent of cases showed evidence of previous physical or sexual abuse. In infant homicide (i.e. under one year of age) a pattern emerged

Based on information collected by the police during their investigation, factors that could influence body disposal patterns were examined, such as homicide classification, intention, whether an accomplice was present, and offender mental disorder. Bivariate analyses showed that the majority of the victims who were disposed of were acquaintances of the offenders. Moreover, several offenders were more likely to dispose of the dead body “within hours” of killing the victim. Dead
