In honor of Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins star who was fatally shot last week, the NFL had fans stand for a collective moment of silence. The grief-filled response stands in sharp contrast to the collective silence around the USA over the growing numbers of murders by and against blacks, tragedies that occur in relative obscurity. Murder statistics can be misleading. Despite a modest 1.8% increase in homicides nationally in 2006 from 2005, the situation in many cities is more dire. Police chiefs report escalating street violence, particularly involving youngsters and gangs with guns. Some startling trends ...

serial killers are apprehended swiftly and surely. In real death and murder situations, as in the investigation and recent capture of the so-called �Grim Sleeper� killer of Los Angeles, it can take years, even decades, to bring an assailant to justice. Police are now saying that the arrest of 57-year-old Lonnie David Franklin, Jr. closes the book on at least 11 unsolved murders that occurred since 1985. Unlike most homicides, which are solved in a matter of days, if not hours, crimes committed by a prolific serial offender are, by definition, the most challenging for law enforcement investigators. There is an element of ...

on July 4, 2010, when Al Hunt, the executive editor in Washington for Bloomberg News, criticized John McCain for the Republican senator's comments about crime in Arizona. McCain had explained his shift on immigration by saying, "The violence is incredibly high. The human smuggling and drug cartels are at a level of violence where 25,000 -- 23,000 Mexican citizens have been murdered in the last few years, 5,000 already this year. There's a level of violence which has increased to a significant degree, which makes the situation far different than it was in 2007" ... Read More

involved Chicago’s longtime ban on handguns. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the 5-to-4 majority, said the decision does not imperil every law regulating firearms, like those prohibiting gun possession by felons or bans on firearms in schools. But the court left unanswered just what other types of gun control laws — beyond an outright ban on handguns — might also violate the Second Amendment. What are the implications of this decision? And how might states and local governments fashion strong policies aimed at stopping gun violence? Glenn Harlan Reynolds is the Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law ...

Learning to analyze DNA and other pieces of evidence from a crime scene may encourage children to commit their own crimes. Criminal justice professor James Alan Fox of Northeastern University believes that bringing “violence” into the school nudges some kids’ simple curiosity into criminal intent. Last Friday, sophomore John Odgren of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Massachusettes stabbed classmate James Alenson to death. Odgren apparently exhibited an interest in forensics and was part of a crime scene investigation summer program at Mount Community College two years ago. Some believe he had an ...

"We are all Hokies!" read the freshly painted sign on the outfield wall of the Boston College baseball stadium, echoing a declaration of mourning made at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University following the terrible murders that took place there on April 16, 2007. I teach at Boston College. Like Virginia Tech, Boston College is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

It is so horrible to know that there are close to 300 murders in the city and we are barely half way through the year. 300 murders means there are others who didn't die but many attempts were made in addition. Why? I think there is a lot of pressure on the minds of the people and they are becoming mentally unravelled... Guns and violence have really become a part the culture of the city. I can't give a specific reason but I've noticed carrying a gun in Philly (even just to go hang out on South Street) has become a necessity for 'street cred' I suspect a lot of it has to do with the ...
