“…In our study, the incidence of homicides incurred by penetrating stab wounds was higher than those reported in surveys performed in India (23%), Japan (27.3%), and Chicago (16%); however, its rate was in compliance with the results of other national surveys (Bowman & Altman, 2002;Hata et al, 2001;Mohanty et al, 2004).…”

Criminal death incidence of women varies between developed and developing countries, and it has become a common public problem in almost every country. We do not have any data about femicide cases published in Turkey until today. In our study, we tried to call attention to femicide cases. In our study, we evaluated 141 cases of female homicides with an interval of 10 years between January 1996 and May 2005, retrospectively. Data retrieved were statistically evaluated using chi-square test. Most of the cases were between 21 and 35 years of age. Spouse murders are usually witnessed during the process of divorce. Establishment of institutions which will ensure the security of women during this period is of paramount importance. If we protect women during divorce and separation proceedings, we can prevent femicide cases. We also think that laws may be strengthened for protecting women who are vulnerable at such times.

“…Rafter (2004, 2005), for instance, analyzed Victorian-era crimes and criminologists to trace the development of criminological theory. Other scholars have used historical data to analyze patterns and trends in violent offenses (Bowman & Altman, 2002; Leonard & Leonard, 2003). Moule and Decker (2013), for example, examined data from the Boston Special Youth Project in the 1950s in order to understand contemporary gang dynamics.…”

There has been recent interest in applying contemporary criminological theories to better understand historical criminal behavior and events. Retrospective studies—much like case studies—can be a useful methodology to help us understand the justice system responses to crime and in particular what strategies “worked” or were ineffective. This study examined 241 train robberies that occurred between 1866 and 1930 and found that routine activities theory can explain the origins, growth, and eradication of this violent and often costly crime. Reducing offender motivation and target attractiveness as well as increasing capable guardianship of shipments of attractive goods explains the eradication of this form of crime. Implications for a criminology of public transportation are discussed.
