"As a result of our analysis, we conceptualised a new four-fold typology of homicide offenders: 1) homicide that was precipitated by a general altercation or argument, 2) homicide during the commission of a felony, 3) domestic violence-related homicide, and 4) a homicide after an accident. In conclusion, none of the 336 homicide offenders committed another murder. However, we found the highest recidivism for new violent or drug crimes occurred in the felony homicide group, followed by the altercation precipitated homicide offenders, which was in sharp contrast to the domestic violence homicide offenders with less than 10% recidivism due to a new violent or drug offence."
