Killing Strangers
The story weaves the lives of three men: Dave Pruitt, a high functioning Asperger’s who is obsessed with guns; Alim Mubarak, an Iraqi immigrant who worked to be the example to which Southern Republicans could point as one of the good ones; Mark McCarthy, a young CEO who started Maverick Investments to fulfill his father’s prophecy. The recurrent mass shootings in America, the spread of radical Islam and the attempts within the community to transcend hate and violence, discriminations in the society and the reactions they can evoke form the backdrop. The story alternates between the mass shooting incident and the lives of the three potential suspects on the journey towards the climax.
Killing Strangers
A bewildering feature of so much contemporary political violence is its stunning impersonality, with every city centre a potential shooting gallery; every metro system a potential bomb alley. Killing Strangers explores how acts of political violence have changed over time, becoming 'unchained' from inter-personal relationships.
Why Women Kill
Traditional homicide indicators are based on male violence - and do little to predict when, or whom, women will kill. Vickie Jensen shows that gender equality plays an important role in predicting female homicide patterns. Jensen's analysis of the occurrence of women's homicide reveals that lethal violence is most likely when severe gender inequalities exist in the family group. Her conclusions establish the clear relationship between political, economic, legal, and social equality for women and the reduction of all forms of domestic violence.
