Reviews"Editors Parker, Stansfield, and Mancik bring together various academics in this systematic review of homicide.... Most of the contributors focus on subfields such as gangs, focused deterrence, immigration status, and weapons, among others. Some offer original studies in niche areas, covering data sources, epidemiology, and intimate partner violence.... Summing Up: Recommended." -- Choice, " Taking Stock of Homicide succeeds admirably in realizing its overarching objective. The chapters, which are authored by leading experts in the field, systematically and rigorously review, update, and extend established bodies of research while identifying the important challenges for future work. The book is sure to be a highly valuable resource for scholars, policy analysts, and members of the general public who want to gain a better understanding of the causes of homicide, along with promising strategies for preventing homicide." -- Steven F. Messner , Distinguished Teaching Professor of Sociology Emeritus at the University at Albany, SUNY, coauthor of Crime and the American Dream , and Past President of the American Society of Criminology

SynopsisTaking Stock of Homicide provides a critical look at homicide, offering a comprehensive review of the major areas of homicide research, including topics largely unexplored in the literature, such as qualitative and historical accounts. Featuring leading scholars, this volume is organized around key themes and areas that reflect major contemporary trends and patterns in criminological literature. Chapters consider fundamentals such as data collection, sources, and histories; structural dynamics, including methodologies and fieldwork plus factors involving race and public health; the circumstances, types, and variations in homicide, from intimate partner violence to gangs, drugs, and firearms; as well as the prevention of and responses to homicide. An essential state-of-the-discipline examination, Taking Stock of Homicide expands our knowledge while offering a toolkit for how to conduct future research on this serious, violent crime.
