    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.

    Original Research Article Water-logging in the South-Western Coastal Region of Bangladesh: Causes and Consequences ABSTRACT Aim: To assess the causes and consequences of water-logging in the south-western coastal region of Bangladesh. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze both primary and secondary sources of data available from the various waterlogged areas of Jessore, Satkhira and Khulna districts have been applied. Comment [H1]: Grammatically faulty. Results: Riverbed siltation is leading to prolonged water-logging in some parts of south-west coastal Not well captured. region of Bangladesh in recent two to three decades. Inadequate runoff is the main source of the problem caused by the polders constructed under the Coastal Embankment Project during the sixties. Other human interventions to river flow and improper management of polder hydrology are also responsible for siltation of riverbed that disrupted the normal course of the rivers. The consequent Comment [H2]: Causes of water- losses in agricultural production due to the inundation of more than hundred thousand hectare crop logging not properly determined. land were noticed in Jessore, Satkhira and Khulna districts that directly affect the life and livelihood of about one million people. Water logging destroyed settlements, houses, latrines and source of safe drinking water, disrupted communication and the rhythm of daily life, killed-off fruit trees and reduced the number of domestic animals.
