Intentional homicide is the ultimate crime and has ripple effects that go far beyond the original loss of human life. For homicide also blights the lives of the victim’s family and community, who may therefore be described as “secondary victims”. It creates a violent environment that has a negative impact on society, the economy and government institutions. Homicide is not limited to people living on the margins of society; rather, it can affect all people, irrespective of their age, sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic background. Since homicide has an impact on people from all walks of life, all facets of homicide need to be analysed.
