Respect, Defense, and Self-Identity: Profiling Parricide in Nineteenth-Century America, 1852-1899

By Phillip C. Shon

Respect, Defense, and Self-Identity provides a new way of understanding parricides by analyzing the behavior of offenders and victims at the scene of the crime in relation to the sources of conflict. This book examines the conflict between parents and their offspring across the life course and argues that parricides are shaped by factors such as respect, defense, and self-identity.
