Criminological Analyses on Global Honor Killing

Beschreibung

Honor killing is mainly practiced in South Asian, Middle East and Arab countries but it has global ramifications as citizens migrate to Western European countries and North America. Honor killings and honor related crimes often diminish women's dignity and the achievements of feminist movements, along with other citizens along the gender spectrum. The socio-psychological issues of honor killings influence further study into gender and sexuality, diversity, culture and population, criminology, and law. A comparative study of the laws of various countries related to honor killing may help showcase the descent of caste and religious prejudices across generations. Criminological Analyses on Global Honor Killing analyzes the impact of honor-based crimes around the world. The book explores the ideology behind honor killing as well as the role of patriarchal societies in enhancing the crime. It also covers socio-cultural based influences while further understanding the complexity of family dynamics, class conflicts, and immigration in relation to this crime. This book covers topics such as criminology, feminism, and sociology, and is a useful resource for criminologists, historians, policymakers, government officials, theologists, feminists, academicians, and researchers.
