Women Who Are Murdered: An Analysis of 912 Consecutive Victims.

Humphrey, John A.; And Others

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v12 n3 p281-88 1981-82

Analyzes all female homicide victims (N=912) in North Carolina from 1972-1976. Investigates Verkko's static and dynamic laws of the relationship between sex and homocide victimization, but findings do not support either of Verkko's laws. Suggests a consequence of converging sex roles may be an increasing tendency to fatal assault. (Author/JAC)
