The Balkans Homicide Study analyses 3,000 (attempted) homicide cases from Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania and Slovenia. Shedding light on a region long neglected in terms of empirical violence research, the study at hand asks: - What types of homicides occur in the Balkans? - Who are the perpetrators and what motivates them? - Who are the victims and what potential protective factors are on their side? - Why do prosecutors dismiss homicide investigations? Amongst other questions and considerations, this brief discusses regional commonalities throughout the Balkans in view of their cultural,historical and normative context. Dismantling negative stereotypes of a growing and thriving Balkan society, this volume will be of interest to researchers in the Balkans, researchers of post-conflict regions, and those interested in the nature of homicide and its motivation, prevention, and various criminal justice approaches. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Criminology 606 $aCrime & criminology$2bicssc 606 $aCauses & prevention of crime$2bicssc 610 $aviolence 610 $ahomicide 610 $aBalkans 610 $aBalkan criminology 610 $aBalkans homicide study 610 $aeuropean homicide research 610 $alethal violence 610 $aCroatia 610 $aSlovenia 610 $aHungary 610 $aRomania 610 $aKosovo 610 $aMacedonia 615 7$aCrime & criminology 615 7$aCauses & prevention of crime 686 $aSOC004000$2bisacsh 700 $aGetos Kalac$b Anna-Maria$01237633 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910500586203321 996 $aViolence in the Balkans$92872890 997 $aUNINA
