A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

HOMICIDE CLASSIFICATION BY VICTIMS, TYPE, AND STYLE

The FBI Academy’s Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico, Virginia, began contributing to the literature on the classification of homicide with the Hazelwood and Douglas (1980) publication on typing lust murderers. The classifying of homicides by number of victims, type, and style was published by Douglas, Ressler, Burgess, and Hartman in 1986. A single homicide is defined as one victim and one homicidal event. A double homicide is defined as two victims who are killed at one time in one location. The January 27, 2001, murder of Dartmouth College professors Half and Suzanne Zantop by teenage classmates James Parker and Robert Tulloch is an example of a double homicide. This case was solved by investigators who traced the knives to Parker, who bought them online. A triple homicide is defined as three victims who are killed at one time in one location. Any single-event, single-location homicide involving four or more victims is classified as mass murder.
