Summary

"The present work builds on the crime seriousness research, focusing specifically on whether 1) certain homicides are reliably considered worse than others, and 2) people generally agree on which homicides are considered worse. Four variables were examined: age of the victim, the relationship between the offender and the victim, the sex of the offender and the intentionality."--Page ii.
