Black Homicide: The Adequacy of Existing Research for Devising Prevention Strategies

The federal government's recently announced plans to develop and implement intervention strategies aimed at the reduction of homicide among young, black males is discussed, and the adequacy of past and current research on homicide for such a task is examined. A number of ways in which existing research is limited in its usefulness as a basis for developing intervention strategies, as well as for increasing our understanding of the relationship between race and homicide, are presented. The article ends with suggested directions for future research.
