Most-cited papers in Homicide Studies

Explaining the Decline in Intimate Partner Homicide

Laura Dugan, Daniel S. Nagin, Richard Rosenfeld · 1 Aug 1999

This article explains the two-decades-long decline in the intimate partner homicide rate in the United States in terms of three factors that reduce exposure to violent relationships: shifts in marriage, divorce, and other factors associated with declining domesticity; the improved economic status of women; and increases in the availability of domestic violence services. The authors'…

Judith McFarlane, Jacquelyn C. Campbell, Susan Wilt et al. · 1 Nov 1999

An 18-item stalking inventory and personal interviews with knowledgeable proxy informants and victims of attempted femicide were used to describe the frequency and type of intimate partner stalking that occurred within 12 months of attempted and actual partner femicide. One hundred forty-one femicide and 65 attempted femicide incidents were evaluated. The prevalence of stalking was…

Advocates for tighter gun restrictions, for expanding mental health services, for upgrading security in public places, and, even, for controlling violent entertainment have made certain assumptions about the nature of mass murder…

Spatial Heterogeneity in the Effects of Immigration and Diversity on Neighborhood Homicide Rates

Corina Graif, Robert J. Sampson · 15 Jul 2009

This paper examines the connection of immigration and diversity to homicide by advancing a recently developed approach to modeling spatial dynamics-geographically weighted regression. In contrast to traditional global averaging, we argue on substantive grounds that neighborhood characteristics vary in their effects across neighborhood space, a process of "spatial heterogeneity." Much like treatment-effect heterogeneity and distinct…
