Abstract
Mouzos analyses Australian homicide data, using information collected by the National Homicide Monitoring Program for the period 1989 to 1999. The main elements of homicide - the characteristics of the incident, victim, offender, and victim-offender relationship - are analysed. Chapters cover homicide in the course of other crime, mass and serial murders, male to male homicide, partner homicide, homicidal women, infanticide, homicidal children, elderly homicide, and the prevention of homicide.
