"Empirical data on homicide and homicide offenders are needed in the ongoing discussion on violence and crime prevention. One issue, insufficiently investigated, is the post-trial life course of homicide offenders.
Aim: To examine whether the mortality rate, as well as cause and manner of death, of homicide offenders is different from the general population.
Results: The overall mortality rate was about three times higher than that of the general population. In particular, the risk of suicide was salient." [Sub required]
