The anthropology of murder
Anthropologist Elliott Leyton looks at how cultural and political forces shape and are shaped by killing. Contrasting studies of Canada, the U.S., and England enable him to draw powerful sociological conclusions based on definitions of justifiable homicide, firearm availability, investigation procedures, rates of incarceration, the death penalty, and glorification of violence through the media and video games. Murder as a large-scale weapon -- terrorism, war, and state-sponsored genocide -- is also considered.
