  • 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.

  • Examining Trends in Domestic Violence Homicides in Oklahoma from 2010- 2014
    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.

  • Why Do Nazca Boobies (Sula Granti) Perform NAV Behavior?
    Zoe von Gerlach Professor William H. Durham October 15th 2018 Why do Nazca Boobies (Sula granti) perform NAV behavior? Abstract This research project focuses on Nazca boobies and their Non-Parental Adult Visitor (NAV) behavior. Non-breeding adult Nazca boobies will go to a nest that is not their own to interact with the unattended chick whose parents are out foraging for food. This interaction can either be playful, aggressive or sexually abusive (Tarlow et al 2001: 1). The purpose of this research project was to examine three different hypotheses dealing with the reasons why NAVs perform this behavior, looking specifically at whether male adult Nazca boobies are more aggressive than females and the reasons behind this. Through the literary research conducted, it was concluded that females are actually much more aggressive than males. The different factors influencing the frequency of NAV behavior as an adult include siblicide and personal victimization as a chick. Although these factors influence NAV behavior, it is likely that high hormone levels at birth and young age have organizational effects that cause this phenomenon in grown Nazca boobies. Introduction Figure 1: Map highlighting Sula granti’s range of occurrence (IUCN Red List) There are three native booby species to the Galapagos. The Red-footed booby, the Blue- footed booby and the Nazca booby. The focus of this project is the Nazca booby. They exhibit two special behaviors that make them so fascinating for humans to study. Firstly, they practice obligate siblicide. Although the typical clutch size of a Nazca booby nest is 2 eggs, only one hatchling ever reaches adulthood.
