Description

This in-depth study examines 424 cases of male-male murder, using both quantitative and qualitative data to explore five distinct types: Confrontational/Fighters, Murder for Money/Financial Gain, Murder Between Men in the Family, Sexual Murder Between Men, and Murder of Older Men. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of each type, including subtypes that highlight the diversity within.

The book also delves into the lifecourse of perpetrators, examining their childhood, adulthood, and time in prison, before reflecting on the broader findings from the wider Murder Study, particularly those committed by male perpetrators. This research sheds light on the importance of gender in understanding these lethal events.
