Homicide Studies: Special Issue Call for Papers

Topic: Homicide in an international context
Submission deadline: September 1, 2006
Guest editor: William Alex Pridemore

The journal Homicide Studies, published by Sage, invites manuscripts for a planned special issue on “Homicide in an international context.” This topic is defined broadly and submissions may include (though are not limited to) cross-national studies, studies comparing two (or a similarly small number of) nations, detailed analyses of homicides in individual nations (not including the United States), meta-analyses or reviews, and very brief summaries of homicide in individual countries or regions rarely examined in the empirical literature.

Manuscripts should be no more than 20 pages in length and follow the standard manuscript preparation guidelines of the journal (see http://homicidestudies.sagepub.com ). The firm deadline for submission is September 1, 2006. We prefer to receive manuscripts as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect documents via e-mail attachment.

If you are unable to send by e-mail, please send four copies of the manuscript to:
