This article extends the existing research on the relationship between alcohol and homicide in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods by examining this relationship in the latter years of the tsarist regime. A cross-sectional study of the 50 provinces of "European" Russia in the years 1909-1911 was undertaken using regional data on homicide, alcohol consumption, population, and structural factors gathered from official state statistical publications. There was a positive and significant association between alcohol consumption and homicide, indicating higher homicide rates in regions with higher alcohol consumption. When this association was examined while controlling for other structural variables, it was still positive and significant. The findings from this study, when taken together with...

The purpose of this article is to describe mortality of women from intimate partner violence (IPV) in South Africa using a retrospective national study in a proportionate random sample of 25 mortuaries. Homicides identified from mortuary, autopsy, and police records. There were 3,797 female homicides, of which 50.3% were from IPV. The mortality rate from IPV was 8.8 per 100,000 women. Mortality from IPV were elevated among those 14 to 44 years and women of color. Blunt force injuries were more common, while strangulation or asphyxiation were less common. The national IPV mortality rate was more than twice that found in the United States.

PHILADELPHIA, May 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Children in the U.S. are just as likely to die from gunshot wounds if they live in the largest cities or the smallest towns. However, teens living in the most urban counties are more likely to die from gun violence, while children in the most remote areas of the country are more likely to die in gun-related accidents or suicides, according to new research by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Almost 24,000 children and adolescents were killed by guns in the U.S. between 1999 and 2006. The study, which appears in the online issue of the journal Pediatrics, looked at the circumstances of those deaths and found 15,190 were homicides, 7,082 were suicides and 1,377 were classified as unintentional. The most urban counties experienced disp...

Gun suicide and homicide rates were about 25% lower when background checks on gun buyers were performed by local authorities as opposed to federal or state agencies, according to a study by the Medical College of Wisconsin. The study shows a patchwork of background check practices around the country. For example, in Wisconsin, checks are done on the state level, and across the border in Iowa and Minnesota, they are done locally.
Nowadays diversity "be damned". "Football" is the thing on everybody's mind in South Africa. The world's most popular sport is starting and as the World Cup kicks off June 11 and organizers expect the monthlong tournament to boost South Africa's tourist arrivals to more than 10 million this year. South African officials expect around 400,000 foreigners to visit South Africa during the tournament each spending $4000 on average. Tourism officials project visiting fans will add nearly $2-billion to the economy creating thousands of new jobs. Not much has changed since apartheid in South Africa except increases in poverty and violence. Is it "Fool's Gold" that South African officials were chasing by investing multi-billions in the hope of transforming its reputation for rampant crime and ra...
