Examining homicide from gendered as well as Gothic perspectives, this book also relates homicide to novel, critical theory. The book covers a thorough description of different types of homicide, including sexual homicide, and provides an explorative approach to the identification of homicide subtypes. The book also explores how these findings relate to current homicide theory, and proposes a new theoretical framework to gain a deeper understanding of this crime. The main argument of the book is that if homicide and its relationship to wider violence is to be fully understood, theoretically as well as empirically, this crime needs to be disaggregated in a way that reflects the underlying data. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this book therefore fills an important gap in criminological literature, providing an in-depth understanding of one of the most serious violent crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSara Skott\u003c\/strong\u003e is associate professor in criminology at Mid Sweden University. Her research concerns different types and aspects of violence, including exploring violence through Gothic and gendered lenses. Her research also concerns the characteristics and offending pathways of sexual homicide, and the social construction of violence, shaped by different power orders.
