Title: Nature of Homicide: Trends and Changes - Proceedings of the 1996 Meeting of the Homicide Research Working Group, Santa Monica, California
Document: PDF|PDF
Editor(s): P K Lattimore; C A Nahabedian
Date Published: 1996
Annotation: The 1996 annual meeting of the Homicide Research Working Group (HRWG) was hosted by the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California, in June 1996 to examine the nature and extent of homicide-related violence.
Abstract: The first session of the meeting was devoted to past and present goals and activities of the HRWG. Subsequent sessions focused on the integration of lethal violence theories, youth violence trends and geographic variations, the use of firearms in homicides and suicides, and youth violence in California and Minnesota. In addition, meeting participants discussed adult homicide, changing relationships between men and women and the extent of intimate partner homicide, homicide trends in three U.S. cities (Houston, San Antonio, and Miami), urban arrest trends for adult men and women between 1960 and 1993, and determinants of homicide. The meeting also considered efforts of researchers and practitioners to influence social policies related to violence prevention, victimization research, the United Nations International Study on Firearms Regulation, firearms availability, the epidemiology of firearms and homicide, pediatric firearm mortality rates, and parricide. Appendixes contain the meeting agenda and a list of meeting participants. References, tables, and figures
