Crime Scene 1
In Brief
This article attempts to address the impacts of homicide trends on life insurance claims. 

Rather than allowing popular culture to shape our view of it, we should take the topic out of the shadows and examine it in the light of relevant facts and data.
This article will attempt to address such questions as: Who are homicide鈥檚 victims and offenders? Why is the U.S. murder rate several times higher than that of other wealthy countries? Why are fewer homicide cases being solved? What significant factors correlate closely with murder rates? And what impact does homicide have on life insurance claims.
