Abstract:
|
Scholars have understudied spree homicide offenders and little is known about their criminal backgrounds. Based on data from a purposive sample of 654 convicted murderers selected from eight states, this study compared the offense and criminal history of spree and non-spree murderers. Spree murderers were significantly more violent and criminally versatile than other homicide offenders during their instant homicide event. Offenders with prior convictions for robbery, child molestation, and multiple probation sentences were significantly at risk for spree homicide offending. Implications of the findings and directions for future research were offered. |
