Homicide

This textbook provides readers with an in-depth exploration of the complex subject of homicide from a variety of viewpoints, ranging from historical roots to contemporary global variations and beyond. It is structured into three key parts, beginning with an inquiry into the nature and study of homicide, providing foundational definitions, and methods for recording and understanding homicidal acts. This foundation is then extended to historical and contemporary examinations across various societies, comparing the behavior across time and space.
