Homicide Studies: Ten Years After Its Inception
Homicide Studies: Ten Years After Its Inception Proceedings of the 2007 Homicide Research Working Group Annual Symposium Minneapolis, Minnesota June 7-10 Edited by Katharina Gruenberg Lancaster University And C. Gabrielle Salfati John Jay College of Criminal Justice 1 Acknowledgements 2 The Homicide Research Working Group (HRWG) is an international and interdisciplinary organization of volunteers dedicated to cooperation among researchers and practitioners who are trying to understand and limit lethal violence. The HRWG has the following goals: to forge links between research, epidemiology and practical programs to reduce levels of mortality from violence; to promote improved data quality and the linking of diverse homicide data sources; to foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research on lethal and non-lethal violence; to encourage more efficient sharing of techniques for measuring and analyzing homicide; to create and maintain a communication network among those collecting, maintaining and analyzing homicide data sets; and to generate a stronger working relationship among homicide researchers. Homicide Research Working Group publications, which include the Proceedings of each annual Intensive Workshop (beginning in 1992), the HRWG Newsletter, and the contents of issues of the journal Homicide Studies (beginning in 1997), may be downloaded from the HRWG web site, which is maintained by the Inter-University Consortium of Political and Social Research, at the following address: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/HRWG/ Suggested citation: Lin Huff-Corzine Katharina Gruenberg, Gabrielle Salfati (Eds.)

“From the Archives of Keystone Memory”
5 “From the Archives of Keystone Memory” Slapstick and Re-membrance at Columbia Pictures’ Short-Subjects Department The mood of retrospect seems indeed the soundest of possible instincts, fulfilling a purpose against which almost every large force in the country seemed to war upon, that to take root. Constance Rourke, American Humor (1931) If anybody else says it’s like old times, I’ll jump out the window. Buster Keaton, in Limelight (1952) If one asks the naïve question “When was American film comedy’s golden age?” one encounters the paradox that there has only ever seemed to be one answer: the silent era, specifically sometime between the ascent of Chaplin in the mid- 1910s and the coming of sound. Often cited, James Agee’s eloquent 1949 Life essay, “Comedy’s Greatest Era,” is a turning point in this regard, a nostalgic paean that, once and for all, elevated silent comedy as a symbol of the past glories of popular culture. “Anyone who has watched screen comedy over the past ten or fifteen years is bound to realize that it has quietly but steadily deteriorated. As for those happy atavists who remember silent comedy in its heyday and the bellylaughs and boffos that went with it, they have something close to an absolute standard by which to measure the deterioration.”1 It is a remarkable rewriting of slapstick comedy. Agee’s essay was crucial in establishing Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd, and Langdon as a kind of Mount Rushmore of comic achievement—the “four most eminent masters”— and it did so, we have seen, by appreciating slapstick in formal terms as an art of pantomime (see the introduction). -
'Enigma Woman'
'EnigmaWoman' Nelli Madi|son Femme Fatales o Kathleen Cairns 4 gCN ir Fiction by In 1934 NellieMadison was arrestedfor the murderof her as an "ortlaw"to a public captivatedby such criminals as "BabyFace" Nelson, Clyde Barrow,and Bonnie Parker. Hereshe is seated at the counseltable during her trial in LosAngeles Superior Court. This content downloaded from 150.131.192.151 on Mon, 18 Nov 2013 02:22:14 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions hortly before midnight on March 24, 1934, Nellie Madison, a Montana rancher's daughter, pumped five bullets into her husband Eric as he lay in bed in the couple's Burbank, California, apartment. Police arrested her two days later hiding in the closet of a remote mountain cabin and brought her back to Burbank where she was questioned,jailed, and charged with first-degree murder. The case quickly became a media sensation. Reporters-fifty sat in on her interrogation-nick- named her the "enigmawoman" for her oddly detached and inscrutabledemeanor and her refusal to talk. Two months later,justbefore the startof her trial,Los Angeles County District Attorney Buron Fitts announced that he would seek the death penalty. To that date no woman had been executed in California,and only one woman, Emma LeDoux, had been condemned, in 1906, also for killing her husband. The state supreme court overturned LeDoux's sentence, but she still resided in prison in 1934.1 In the years between LeDoux's conviction and Madison's trial,California saw its share of notorious femalemurder defendants.Jurors gave Louise Peete a life sentence in 1920 after she killed her landlord and buried his body beneath his house. -
American Female Executions 1900 - 2021
American female executions 1900 - 2021. A total of 56 women have been lawfully executed in 20 states of the USA between 1903 and January 2021, including three under Federal Authority. 55 of them died for first degree murder or conspiracy to first degree murder and one for espionage. 39 executions took place between 1903 and 1962 and a further 14 since the resumption of the death penalty in 1976, between 1984 and 2014. Shellie McKeithen (executed January 1946) is erroneously included in some lists, but Shellie was male, despite his first name. 25 of these women died in the electric chair, 15 by lethal injection, 9 by hanging and 7 by lethal gas. 1) Thirty eight year old Dora Wright (black) became the first woman to be executed in the 20th century when she was hanged in Indian Territory at South McAllister, in what would become Oklahoma, on July 17, 1903. She was executed for the murder of 7 year old Annie Williams who is thought to have been her step daughter. Dora had beaten and tortured Annie repeatedly over a period of several months before finally killing her on February 2, 1903. According to a local newspaper it was “the most horrible and outrageous” crime in memory in the area. On May 29, 1903 the jury took just 20 minutes’ deliberation to reach a guilty verdict, but were divided upon the sentence, with three voting for life and nine for death. After a further half an hour the three had been won round and death was the unanimous recommendation. -

Streib* There is also overwhelming evidence that the death penalty is employed against men and not women . It is difficult to understand why women have received such favored treatment since the purposes allegedly served by capital punishment seemingly are equally applicable to both sexes.1 INTRODUCTION Picture in your mind a condemned murderer being sentenced to death, eating a last meal, or trudging ever-so-reluctantly into the execution chamber. -
The Transgressive Discourse of Rowland Brown's
Revista de Comunicación de la SEECI. (Julio 2016). Año XX (40), 133-153 ISSN: 1576-3420 INVESTIGACIÓN/RESEARCH Recibido: 26/04/2016 --- Aceptado: 19/05/2016 --- Publicado: 15/07/2016 THE TRANSGRESSIVE DISCOURSE OF ROWLAND BROWN’S CINEMA (1931-1933): A BRIEF CAREER IN PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD Carmen Guiralt Gomar1: University of Valencia. Spain. [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article consists in the analysis of the Rowland Brown director’s film work and career, who was one of the first (if not the first) directors-screenwriters of Hollywood. He developed his career during Hollywood’s pre-Code era and he only directed three idiosyncratic films linked to the gangster genre: Quick Millions (1931), Hell’s Highway (1932) and Blood Money (1933). There were a great number of reasons why he was thrown out from Hollywood and he was not allowed to return to direct, among them the highly transgressive and critical discourse of his cinema. Despite of the singularity and originality of his film work, today Brown is a forgotten figure, only recognised by a prestigious group of film historians. His cinema has not been studied thoroughly yet. The final aim of this article it to contribute to filling this gap in the History of Cinema. KEY WORDS: Rowland Brown – Classical Hollywood cinema – Pre-Code period (1930-1934) –Quick Millions (1931) – Hell’s Highway (1932) –Blood Money (1933) – gangster genre 1 Carmen Guiralt Gomar: Phd in History of Art from the University of Valencia, BA in Art History from the same university and a Masters in History and Aesthetics of Cinematography from the University of Valladolid. -

TOWARDS A FEMINIST THEORY OF VIOLENCE MONICA PAt INTRODUCTION: THE CONTEXT-STORIES AND STATISTICS While feminism has pushed to show that there is little difference between the sexes save biology, "recorded criminal behavior had remained a stubborn exception to this rule."' However, over the last ten years, women have broken through the glass ceiling of violent criminal offending. Women are now carjack- ing. in San Francisco, 14- and 15-year-old girls carjacked a 57-year-old female driver, locked the driver in the trunk of the car, drove her around the city, and then, upon letting her out of the car, pointed a .38 caliber pistol at her head and threatened to kill her.2 The girls were also armed with pepper spray, gloves, duct 4 tape, and knives.3 Their motive was to impress a local street gang. Women are now committing aggravated assault: "In Concord, New Hamp- shire, four girls surround(ed) a 14-year-old girl as she (got) off a school bus at the mobile home park where she lived and beat her with baseball bats."'5 In Vir- ginia, "a beauty queen named Traci Lippard broke into the home of her rival '6 and attacked the girl's father with a hammer." t B.A., University of California at Santa Cruz, 1998; J.D., New York University, 2002 (magna cum laude, Order of the Coil).
