Mass shootings and masculinities
This paper illustrates the role of gender throughout all five stages of the cumulative strain theory of mass shootings. Scholarship on masculinities helps explain the unusually wide gender disparity among mass shooters. Mass shooters who are boys and men experience stressors as emasculating rejections which accumulate over time. Boys and men are more likely than girls and women to be socially isolated and/or have anti-social connections that exac…
Women Who Kill
In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London, the number of women prosecuted for murder was quite small with only forty women reaching the felony court at the Old Bailey for trial between 1783 and 1815.

War is as much a cultural endeavor as it is a military undertaking, and the absence of a clear sensemaking narrative was detected in this study of public administrators from three agencies with varying proximity to the co…
