PRINTED ON ACID-FREE PAPER HOMICIDESmith / EDITOR’S STUDIES INTRODUCTION / November 2001 Editor’s Introduction—and Farewell Nearly 7 years ago, the idea for a scholarly journal devoted to the study of homicide was discussed over a dinner at the American Society of Criminology meetings in Miami (see Smith & Corzine, 1997). Within months, the idea had become a reality; the Homi- cide Research Working Group (HRWG) agreed to serve as the sponsor, a contract was signed with Sage Publications, and I had the honor of serving as editor of a new journal called Homicide Studies. The first issue was submitted to Sage in November 1996, with

    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.)

  • A Current Absence of Neonaticide in Norway
    VOLUME 18 - No 2 - 2012 - Page 155-163 - doi: 10.2478/v10278-012-0005-2 Scandinavian journal of FORENSIC SCIENCE Nordisk rettsmedisin A current absence of neonaticide in Norway Vibeke Ottesen Centre for Evolutionary and Ecological Synthesis (CEES), Department of Biology, University of Oslo, Blindern, Oslo, Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study is the first attempt to explore the rate, characteristics and legal reactions to neonaticide in Norway during the years 1990 – 2009. Potential incidents of neonaticide were identified through the national homicide index held by the National Criminal Investigation Service and the national police registers for all recorded crime in Norway held by the National Police Computing and Material Services. The study uncovers that no clear incident of neonaticide has been recorded in the respective registers during the study’s time period. There was however recorded one case of a discarded stillborn and one case of an abandoned neonate that died through exposure. The paper discusses whether the study’s findings are congruent with an evolutionary psychological understanding of filicide and current knowledge of risk factors and rates for neonaticide. Keywords: Evolutionary psychology, Filicide, Neonaticide INtrODUctiON hypothesis concerning alternative probabilities for risk factors for every recognised category of homicide, including filicide, successfully identifying Neonaticide, defined as the killing of a newborn within the first 24 hours after significant risk factors [15-27]. its birth, was first recognised as a distinct type of caretaker perpetrated child The present study is the first attempt to explore the rate and homicide (filicide) in a seminal paper by the psychiatrist Phillip J.

    INTIMATE AND FAMILIAL MURDER: EXAMINING TRENDS IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDES IN OKLAHOMA FROM 2010-2014 By ASHLEY E. LAMOTHE Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology The University of West Florida Pensacola, FL 2013 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE July, 2016 INTIMATE AND FAMILIAL MURDER: EXAMINING TRENDS IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDES IN OKLAHOMA FROM 2010-2014 Thesis Approved: Dr. Ron Thrasher Thesis Adviser Dr. Robert Allen Dr. Mark Payton ii Name: ASHLEY LAMOTHE Date of Degree: JULY, 2016 Title of Study: INTIMATE AND FAMILIAL MURDER: EXAMINING TRENDS IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDES IN OKLAHOMA FROM 2010- 2014 Major Field: FORENSIC SCIENCES Abstract: Domestic violence homicides, particularly involving intimate partners, have been the subject of research for many decades. What has been lacking in the literature, however, is an in-depth comparison of the many types of relationships that fall under the umbrella definition for domestic violence. Such relationships include parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members, as well as roommates. This study focuses on the trends and characteristics of the domestic violence homicides that occurred in the state of Oklahoma from January 2010 through December 2014. A total of 1318 homicides were reviewed and 368 were determined to meet the definition of domestic violence homicide. For this study, domestic violence is defined by Title 22 of the Oklahoma State Statutes in the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act. For each domestic violence case, several pieces of information were collected. Data collected were: demographics of the victim and offender, relationship between victim and offender, the mechanism of injury that caused the death, the number of injuries to the victim, drug or alcohol use by either the victim or offender, and the county where the death occurred.
