In an extensive analysis of homicide in diverse cultures, Daly and Wilson(1988) identify male partner jealousy, possessiveness, and desire to control female partners as important precursors for intimate femicide worldwide. This led them to conclude that "sexual proprietariness" is an evolved manifestation of masculinity that interacts with cultural context to produce variations in male violence against women. Violence manifests itself in situations that represent loss of male control over the female partner, such as infidelity(real or imagined) or victim-instigated separation, which trigger extreme jealousy, possessiveness, and morbid rage...

homicidio: De la presente definición de la palabra «homicide» se desprende que ésta no tiene el sentido técnico que en español tiene su correlativa "homicidio". Tiene, por supuesto, el significado de "acto de dar muerte", pero en sentido genérico. Mientras que en español la muerte, para constituir "homicidio", ha de derivar de un acto injusto o ilícito. En el Derecho inglés se admite un homicidio legítimo (lawful homicide), que puede ser "excusable homicide" (homicidio excusable), como en el caso del cometido en legítima defensa o por accidente inculpable, o "justifiable homicide" (homicidio justificable), como el cometido en cumplimiento de un deber, oficio o cargo, por ejemplo, en el caso del soldado que mata al enemigo en guerra o del verdugo que ejecuta al condenado a muerte.

America is in the midst of a raging epidemic of juvenile homicide, suicide, and abuse.... The children who killed 12-year-old Amanda Simpson... doused the kitchen floor [with gasoline] and set the fuel alight.... Six boys and two girls, ages 12 to 16 at the time of the crime, were convicted or plead guilty in connection with Amanda's death.

OBS

These terms apply to any type of violence that involves youngsters, either as victims or perpetrators. The synonym for "violence against children" is sometimes reserved for children under 12.

OBS

... this onslaught of childhood violence knows no boundaries of race, geography, or class. ... An ever-increasing number of youngsters are caught up in violence - as victims, as witnesses, as perpetrators. ... Juvenile arrests for aggravated assault and forcible rape are rising dramatically. ... For too many children, there are no safe havens. They are victimized at home, at school, on the street. ... More adolescents die from violence - especially gun violence - than from any other illness.

Subject field(s)
  • Law on Use of Air Space
CONT

The only place on this planet where an aspiring space lawyer can enroll in a full-time post-graduate degree program is the Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill University in Montreal. Lawyers from 121 countries have graduated from the institute since its beginnings in 1951, and they now work for governments, space agencies, and in private practice.

CONT

Space lawyers focus on commercial contracts and intellectual property rights in communications, remote sensing and manufacturing in microgravity.

OBS

Espionage, breach of contract, homicide-since escaping gravity does not diminish the human capacity for crime-any conflict conceivable on Earth could one day be played out in space, and someone has to ensure that space travellers from countries as different as Canada, Russia, Japan, the U. S. and Europe play by common rules.

While Anderson preferred to think that his breakdown was caused by the descent of individualism in American society and his own subscription to those American mores, a journal he kept over his 4-day disappearance suggests that a flashback to childhood beatings triggered the breakdown... high frequency of antecedent psychiatric disorder, the homicide of a child, and an intensely idealized attachment to the deceased, whose image of violent dying recurred as a disorganizing flashback and dream.(Source : PASCAL database).

CONT

posttraumatic stress disorder ... Essential symptoms: Flashbacks of a traumatic event ... Have you ever experienced flashbacks, when you found yourself reliving some terrible experience over and over again?
