This work situates homicide statistics in the United States in a global and historical context by addressing questions of stranger-perpetrated homicide and intimate partner violence. Several potential reasons for a decline in the number of solved homicides are explored, including victim\/offender relationships, weapons, and improvements in forensics. Emigh-Guy concludes that modern media representations have skewed the general public's understanding of violent crime and provides the statistics to show how reality differs from misconception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meredith Emigh-Guy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793629617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793629616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Meredith Emigh-Guy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401737326847,"sku":"9781793629616","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f6d8a54-c218-441b-9435-107eaf1b6ba9.jpg?v=1733888531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-homicides-1980-2020-meredith-emigh-guy-9781793629616","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
