abstract="The current study examines and extends the instrumental-expressive categories of homicide. Correspondence analysis of 30 years of homicide data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supplementary Homicide Reports focuses on gender differences, the victim-offender relationship and weapon choice among the types of homicide. <br><br>FINDINGS reveal that the weapon type used in homicides depends on the sex and relationship of the offender and victim. <br><br>RESULTS also support a revised instrumental-expressive homicide continuum that includes offensive-defensive categories. The enhanced homicide dimensions include instrumental-offensive, expressive-offensive, and expressive-defensive homicides.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
