Points of view or opinions stated in this document are those of 'the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice. Research on this project was completed in July 1981. , III INTRODUCTlON This Is one of a set of five topical bibliographies on crimi~?1 violence, each covering an area of continuing major concern in criminological theory and empirical research on criminology and criminal justice. The other bibliographies in the series are: ... ~ • Criminal Violence: Biological Correlates and Determinants • Criminal Violence and Race ; Domestic Criminal Violence • The Violent' Offender in the Criminal Justice System Citations in this topical bibliography have been selected fronl approximately 50,000 entries in the National Criminal Justice Reference Service data base, one of the lar~lest data bases of its kind in criminology and criminal justice. Approximately 4,500 citations on criminal violelnce for the years 1972 to 1980 were selected by searching the title, annotation, abstract, and content codes of each citation for several topically related key-word combinations. These 4,500 citations were, in turn, searched for citations pertaining to the psycho­ logical correlates and determinants of criminal violence. The search strategy for generating relevant citations was designed to ensure that any errors would be in the direction of overinclusion, thereby allowing the user final discretion in determining citation relevance. The search was limited to the years 1972 fo 1980 because a bibliographic compilation already exists for earlier years. As part of a project supported by the National Science Foundation, a cOl11prehensive listing of r.' . documents in criminological theory and empirical research on criminology was published for the years 1945 to 1972. The interested reader should consult Marvin E. Wolfgang, Robert M. Figlio, and Terence P. Thornberry, , Criminology Index (New York: ElseVier, 1975). \ Citations included in this bibliography cover a broad spectrum of issues bearing on the psychology of criminal violence. The cited documents explore the psychological, sociopsychological, and, to a lesser extent, psychobiological. antecedents and consequences of aggressive and criminal violence. The predominant number of works examine pers.onality traits and dynamics-including their pathological forms-as well as II stress and frustration. Somewhat fewer in number aredocuments Which examine the psychological effects of being a victim of criminal violence. Information about obtaining the documents. cited in this bibliography can be found on the inside of the back cover. Initially three additional bibliographies were planned for this series: longitudinal analyses of criminal violenbe, situational correlates and determinants of criminal violence, and criminal violence and weapon use. The first two efforts were ended because of difficulties in identifying a significant number of relevant citations through data base searches, and the last because a more comprehensive work is currently being sponsored (; by a grant from the National Institute of Justice.

BROUSSARD PROOFS1 10/31/2012 7:49 AM PRINCIPLES FOR PASSION KILLING: AN EVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION TO MANSLAUGHTER MITIGATION† ABSTRACT The law recognizes the frailty of human nature by mitigating murder to manslaughter when committed in the heat of passion or under extreme emotional disturbance. Evolutionary analysis entails the scientific study of the principles of human nature. Yet, the law’s understanding of human nature is not congruent with evolutionary analysis. To be legally provoked under common law for manslaughter mitigation, a homicide must be in response to one of four kinds of provocation: adultery, mutual combat, false arrest, and violent assault. And under adultery, only sexual infidelity counts. Sexual infidelity is not the only type of infidelity that can push a person into a homicidal rage, and while American jurisdictions have started moving away from the rigid categories, sexual infidelity remains a paradigmatic approach for mitigation. The Model Penal Code attempted to make the law more contextual, but it created a new series of adjudications that are expansive and also incongruent with evolutionary analysis.

  • Passion's Progress: Modern Law Reform and the Provocation Defense
    Articles Passion's Progress: Modern Law Reform and the Provocation Defense Victoria Nourse' How do we understand the death of loved ones at the hands of those with whom they are most intimate? In life as well as law, we say that murders of husbands, wives, and lovers are "crimes of passion." Thus we explain the event in a way that bridges the gap between love and murder as it separates them, that distances violence from our own homes as it bows to human frailty. This intellectual juggling act yields a law full of ambivalence toward those homicides it describes by the name of "passion." Doctrine condemns the killings, but with sympathy for the defendant's situation; theory excuses and justifies the killer, but only partially; verdicts do not acquit, but reduce the sentence from murder to manslaughter.' This ambivalence has led to legal I Visiting Assistant Professor Law. University of Maryland. Assistant Profcssor of La'%. Uniacriv, of Wisconsin. B.A.. Stanford University; J.D..

  • Women, Honour, and the State: Evidence from Egypt
    Middle Eastern Studies, 3 Routledge Taylor & Francis Group Vol. 42, No. 1, 1-20, January 2006 m G Women, Honour, and the State: Evidence from Egypt BETH BARON Activists in the Middle East and beyond have in the past decade stepped up their organizing against 'crimes of honour' or 'honour killings'.' These killings occur throughout the region among diverse ethnic populations and are not restricted to Muslims. 'A paradigmatic example of a crime of honour is the killing of a woman by her father or brother for engaging in, or being suspected of engaging in, sexual practices before or outside marriage', writes Lama Abu-Odeh in a legal discussion of crimes of honour in the Arab world.2 Premarital relations leading to a loss of virginity, or perceptions of such relations, and extramarital affairs or other infringements of the modesty of a girl or woman thus carried a heavy price. According to Arab customary law, immodest actions dishonoured the family, metaphorically tainting the family blood, which could only be 'cleansed' or redeemed by loss of life. An agnatic relative of the woman - her father, brother, father's brother or his son (who might also be her husband in a region where cousins on the paternal side frequently married) - was charged with killing her to redeem the family honour. The spilling of blood supposedly washed away the shame or dishonour. Women are occasionally killed by mistake (the rumoured activity never occurred) or, conversely, escaped punishment when the initial deed had been kept a secret: they were locked up, sent away, or quickly married off.

Defining Recent Femicide in Modern Turkey: Revolt Killing Ihsan Cetin1 Abstract This paper aims to question recent increasing femicides in Turkey through the examination of their reasons and dynamics. Therefore, it starts with analyzing current terms such as “honor killing”, “töre killing” and “crimes of passion”. The article claims that the recent description of the murder of women in Turkey as “honor killings” is misleading. Turkey must employ finer distinctions among types of femicide so as to prevent murderers and the larger society from justifying such actions through claims of honor. This paper thus asserts that the analysis of femicide in Turkey, as a Muslim country, should go far beyond the context of honor killing and argues that such examination must consider new social and economic changes as well as the new status of women in modern Turkish society.

CRIMINOLOGY INTIMACY AND VIOLENCE: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF VICTIM-DEFENDANT RELATIONSHIP IN CRIMINAL LAW MYRNA DAWSON* A review of the sociological and criminological literature on victim- defendant relationship and violence reveals common perspectives or assumptions about intimate violence. A careful examination of these assumptions reveals that they support another common assumption-that the courts treat (and should treat) intimate violence more leniently than violence between those who share more distant relationships. However, criminaljustice researchershave yet to systematically examine the validity of these assumptions or the role they play in determining outcomes in violent crime. Using the focal concerns framework, ten perspectives are describedand linked to various explanationsfor criminaljustice leniency in cases of intimate violence.
