Secondary data on 119 black female homicide offenders and survey data on 9 additional offenders were gathered through the project, 'Black Homicide and the Urban Environment.' Analysis indicates that the circumstances surrounding the homicide incidents are still congruent with Wolfgang's findings; however, many changes appear to be taking place. It appears that if these changes continue for another decade, Wolfgang's theory may no longer serve as an appropriate explanation for black female behavior in acts of lethal violence. Footnotes and 26 references are given. (Author abstract modified)
