IntroductionHomicide has existed since the dawn of time. People kill each other every day. In the United States, you are ten times more likely to be murdered the day you are born than at any other time in your life (CDC, 2002). For this reason, current research suggests that homicides should not be viewed as single incidents but as underlying indicators of changes in social and economic conditions, including: race, poverty, and social isolation (Parker 2004) and the distribution of handguns (Ludwig & Cook, 2003). Yet the vast majority of criminal homicides offer very little insight. In 2010, there were 12,996 homicides in the United States (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2010). Ninety-three of these homicides occurred in the Atlanta area (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2010). For this reason, the increased incidence of criminal and violent behavior in recent years has become a major concern in the Atlanta area. Several elements are considered factors in homicide. Some factors include race, demographics, poverty, and social organization of people. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2009), “Blacks are disproportionately represented as both homicide victims and offenders. In 2010, Blacks in Atlanta made up 54% of the population (US Census Bureau, 2010) but 86% of homicide victims (Atlanta Police Department Uniform Crime Report, 2010). Therefore, one of the most consistent findings reported in the criminology literature is that African Americans in the United States are involved in criminal homicide both as offenders and victims, at a rate that far exceeds their number in the general population (Bartol & Bartol, 2007). . Nevertheless, in many cases... middle of document ...... corrected patrols and guns for tickets in high crime areas of the city of Atlanta, homicide rates will decrease.Abstract This article has demonstrated how the The homicide analysis Atlanta models could be used to develop and recommend interventions for communities affected by increased homicides. However, the success of each of the recommended interventions depends on good relations between the police and the citizens of Atlanta. Additionally, given that most homicides are impulsive and unplanned, it is unlikely that imposed strategies will mitigate homicide rates. It is possible, although difficult to imagine, that all strategies against homicide modify the behavior of offenders and thus reduce violent situations. Conversely, by reducing the number of people carrying guns on the streets of Atlanta, homicides will also be reduced..
