R. Emerson Dobash and Russell P. Dobash, authors of When Men Murder Women, discuss how sexual assault charges are often left off when a sexual murder is committed, and why it’s important to get the whole picture. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/when-men-murder-women-9780199914784?cc=us&lang=en& In the United States and Great Britain, 20-30% of all homicides involve the killing of a woman by a man. In When Men Murder Women, Dobash and Dobash - two seasoned researchers and longtime collaborators in the study of violence against women - reveal what they learned from a three-year study that included 866 homicide case files and 200 in-depth interviews with murderers in prison. R. Emerson Dobash, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the School of Law, University of Manchester and Permanent Distinguished Visiting Professor of Justice and Social Enquiry at Arizona State University.

Dobash, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the School of Law, University of Manchester and Permanent Distinguished Visiting Professor of Justice and Social Enquiry at Arizona State University. © Oxford University Press
