  • Projected psychological profiles of serial killers and the match to actual offenders
  • Feminist theories of homicide
  • Cross-cultural and/or international comparisons of homicide research findings
  • Analyses of trends in homicide offending and victimization
  • The correlation between child abuse and homicidal tendencies
  • Evaluations of support groups for family members of homicide victims
  • Assessment of brain injury through child abuse among convicted homicide offenders
  • Determining predictors of lethal violence among couples with histories of domestic violence
  • Differentiating the dynamics of homicide and non-lethal assaults
  • Investigative techniques that enhance probabilities of offender identification
  • Methodological problems posed by decreasing homicide clearance rates

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission Guidelines:

Submissions for review by Homicide Studies should be empirically based, using quantitative or qualitative methods. Theoretical papers, research summaries, and public policy reviews are also welcomed. Submission of manuscripts dealing with violence as a generic issue are discouraged. However, treatments of other areas of violent behaviour would be considered if the central concern is the relationship between the violence and homicide. The editor also welcomes proposals for Special Issues.

Manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages, and should begin with a brief abstract of about 100 words. Figures, tables and references must be on separate pages. Submissions should be typewritten, double-spaced, with footnotes, references, tables, and charts on separate pages, and should follow the format specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Manuscripts will be sent out anonymously for editorial evaluation, so the author's name, affiliation, mailing address, and phone number should be included on separate cover page. If possible, please include an e-mail address. A copy of the final revised manuscript saved on an IBM-compatible disk must accompany the final version of any submission accepted for publication. Submission of the manuscript implies that it has not been previously published and is not under consideration elsewhere.

Prospective authors should submit two paper copies and an IBM-compatible disk copy to Jay Corzine, Editor, Homicide Studies, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida 32816-1360; email: hcorzine@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu; phone: 407-823-2227.
