The Victims of Homicide: A Temporal and Cross-National Comparison

Good Policy Can Lower Violent Crime: Evidence from a Cross-National Panel of Homicide Rates, 1980–97

“…Greater respect for human rights and the abolition of the death penalty can both be expected to lead to lower homicide rates. Whilst to the best of our knowledge this study is the first one to test for the impact of respect of human rights on homicide rates, the result for the existence of the death penalty is consistent with earlier studies such as Archer, Gartner & Beittel (1983) and Gartner (1990).…”

However, more recent research (Lauritsen & Rezey, 2013) acknowledges the gendered nature of victimization (Gartner, 1990;Marvell & Moody, 1999;Smith & Brewer, 1992;Smith & Brewer, 1995). Specifically, recent studies have been conducted on the long-term trends of male and female homicide victimization (Batton, 2004;Browne & Williams, 1993;Pizarro, et al, 2010;Pridemore & Freilich, 2005) as well as non-lethal victimization.…”

“…Basing his work on a sample of 18 countries, [27] found no significant relation between the relative size of the young population and delinquency rates. So also, several cross-national studies such as [28]; [28] further raised questions about the supposedly temporal relation between age structure and delinquency rate.…”
