Why do people kill? How is homicide investigated? How can it be prevented? Understanding Homicide is a comprehensive and challenging text unravelling the phenomenon of homicide. Fiona Brookman combines original analysis with a lucid overview of the key theories and debates in the study of homicide and violence. In introducing the broad spectrum of different features, aspects and forms of homicide, Brookman examines its patterns and trends, how it may be explained, its investigation and how it may be prevented. Areas covered include: the killing of children; multiple homicide (including serial and mass murder, terrorism and corporate homicide); domestic homicide; homicide amongst men; Understanding Homicide is unique in its focus, coverage and style and bridges a major gap in criminological literature. Whilst focused in several respects upon the UK experience of homicide, the text necessarily draws upon and makes a significant contribution to international literature, research and debate. The text has been written in a style that will be accessible to a wide audience and assumes no prior knowledge.
