This book draws a unique and detailed picture of developments in human interpersonal violence and presents new findings on rates, patterns and long-term changes of lethal violence in the Nordic. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of criminologists and historians, the book analyses homicide and lethal violence in northern Europe in two eras – the 17th century and early 21st century. The book is also a methodological experiment that seeks to assess the feasibility of long-duration standardized homicide analysis and to better understand the logic of long-duration homicide variation across space and over time.
