Urbanization and Homicide in Modern Cities
The twenty first century and all that is happening in the local and global arena show us that everything is changing, everything is being transformed in political, urban, historical, and cultural content. Due to globalization, technological innovation, and rapid urbanization, the morphology of cities is also changing like other institutions of society including family, state, health, environment, etc. Apart from the buildings and construction, we should also take into consideration other issues of human capital, such as deviance and crime within urban life. In this paper, we will see if there is a correlation between homicide in the family and the pressure that the modern city offers. This hypothesis is true, especially in a culture where honor is a strong cultural syndrome, traditional norms are strong, and the gender gap in victimization is quite big. We build our theory on a qualitative approach where forty-five interviews were made in different Albanian jails with inmates who have killed someone in the family. Is it urban or rural deviance? The results of the interviews will be included for analysis in this paper.
