gun homicide rates of urban youth. In fact, since 1965, homicide has consistently been one of the top 15 causes of death in the United States, especially among African American males. More so, African American males under 25 experience violent crime victimization at rates higher than any other demographic group. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “homicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-24” (CDC, 2012). In addition, “82.8% of homicide…
two theories of homicide that are found in the Google alert articles dated 1/30/2017 through 2/3/2017 are the differential association theory and rational choice theory. Differential association theory suggests that how we view acts as being either acceptable or unacceptable is based on the viewpoint of those with whom we associate.

Unlawful killing can divided into murder, infanticide and manslaughter (Ioannou and Hammond, 2015).…

These corporations can also choose to display total statistics or per capita statistics, or homicides vs, all gun deaths in the case of gun violence, leading to stats on the same two countries but completely different results.

correlated with urbanisation. King makes his view clear throughout, that homicide rates are higher in cities on a whole. The article questions this “new consensus” by re-examining the evidence. One statistic brought in here is that London’s homicide rate was 60% higher than England’s, this is one reason why this popular argument formed. However, since this, a new consensus has formed- that industrialisation has lessened homicide rates,…

While the death penalty is still legal in thirty-one states and has strong support among many politicians, it is a harmful policy, and causes pain and suffering for innocent citizens.
