MANOR A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Legal Studies in the College of Health and Public Affairs and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2015 Thesis Chair: Dr. James Beckman Abstract The United States has experienced several mass shootings in the past few years. It has been averaging one shooting every week in 2015, and something must be done about it. This problem appears to be limited to the United States since several other nations have been able to minimize, and almost eliminate the number of mass shootings. By taking an analysis of the gun laws of the United States with those of Australia and Canada it can be concluded that some aspects of strict gun control can reduce the number of mass shootings.

  • Gregory, Masculinity and Homicide-Suicide 2012.Pdf
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice 40 (2012) 133e151 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijlcj Masculinity and homicide-suicide Marilyn Gregory* Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, Elmfield, Northumberland Road, Sheffield S10 2TU, UK 1. Introduction Since Ruth Cavan’s groundbreaking study of homicide followed by suicide in Chicago (Cavan, 1928), research mainly located within psychology and forensic pathology shows that homicide-suicide episodes, whilst uncommon, occur across a broad range of countries for which data have been collected. These include: Australia (Easteal, 1993; Carcach and Grabosky, 1998); England and Wales (West, 1967; Milroy, 1993; Barraclough and Harris, 2002; Flynn et al., 2009; Gregory and Milroy, 2010); Canada (Buteau et al., 1993; Gillespie et al., 1998); Finland (Kivivuori and Lehti (2003);France(Le Comte and Fornes, 1998); Hong Kong: (Beh et al., 2005); Iceland (Gudjonsson and Petursson, 1982); Israel (Landau, 1975); USA (Barber et al., 2008; Campinelli and Gilson, 2002; Hanzlick and Kopenen, 1994). Reviewing 17 studies from 10 countries, Coid (1983) found that although the rate of homicide varied widely between countries, the rate of homicide-suicide was much lessvariable.Itfollowedthatinthosecountrieswithhigher homicide rates, homicide-suicide as a percentage of homicide was smaller than in countries with lower homicide rates. Milroy (1995) reviewed the internationalliteratureagain,ana- lysing 27 studies from 17 countries and found these tendencies persisted. However, Cohen et al. (1998) found evidence to contradict this view, suggesting that homicide-suicide as apercentageoftotalhomicidesvarieswidelybetweencountries,fromaslittleas3%toas much as 60%. We know a good deal about the epidemiology of homicide-suicide from existing research (Harper and Voigt, 2007).
