This study aims to answer two major research questions: (a) What are the characteristics of the juvenile homicide offenders (JHOs) and their offenses in Turkey? (b) How do different risk factors vary across the JHOs and other violent and nonviolent juvenile offenders? The data set was derived from the court records of a group of adjudicated youth (n = 546) in Turkey. These records were coded to include information on both the offense characteristics of the homicides committed by juveniles (i.e., motivation, weapon of choice, victims' characteristics, etc.) and the individual and family-level risk factors available in JHOs and two other delinquent groups. Our findings indicated that most of the homicide cases committed by juveniles were motivated by a fight/argument and did not involve any criminal premeditation. The victims were mostly strangers and close in age to the offenders. JHOs were significantly different from other juvenile offenders in a number of aspects, such as age, number of siblings, effectiveness of intrafamilial communication,

Bu makale, Türkiye'de yaralama suçlarını etkileyen milli gelir ve kaba boşanma hızı gibi sosyo-ekonomik faktörleri incelemektedir. Çalışma, ekonomik refah seviyesi ve aile yapısındaki değişimlerin suç oranları üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Çalışma, 2006-2020 yılları arasında Türkiye’de il bazında panel veri analizi yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu analizde, yaralama suçundan hapse giren kişi sayısı bağımlı değişken olarak alınmış, kişi başı düşen milli gelir ve kaba boşanma hızı ise bağımsız değişkenler olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, yaralama suçu ile kişi başı düşen milli gelir arasında herhangi bir anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken, kaba boşanma hızında meydana gelen artış yaralama suçundan hapse giren kişi sayısını pozitif yönde etkilemektedir.
