About the Center for Homicide
Research
The Center for Homicide Research is a unique,
volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization addressing the issue of homicide in
our communities. The mission of the Center for Homicide Research is to
promote greater knowledge and understanding of the unique nature of homicide
through sound empirical research, critical analysis, and effective community
partnerships.The three-fold goals of the Center are to increase case solvability, to
articulate homicide issues and to reduce incidence of homicide. Our ultimate
aim is to prevent homicides. (more)
Center
Co-presents International Conference for
GLBT Criminal Justice Professionals
Nearly 140 professionals from 25 states
and seven foreign countries were in attendance at the 12th Annual
Gay Officers Action League conference held at George Washington
University in Washington DC in mid-May. This year’s conference was
co-presented by the Washington, DC-based Mid-Atlantic Gay Officer's
Action League (GOAL) and the Center for Homicide Research.
The conference brought together GLBT
criminal justice professionals from every level of law enforcement,
including chiefs of police, assistant chiefs, detectives and
officers.

Joe Shulka, CHR Board President,
Judy Shepard, Executive Director of the Matthew Shepard Foundation,
and Dallas Drake, CHR Principal Researcher
The conference, one of the largest in recent
years, featured keynote addresses by Judy Shepard, mother of murdered gay
college student Matthew Shepard, and Commander Dave O'Malley, retired police
chief of Laramie, Wyoming and principal investigator in the Shepard case.
The Center for Homicide Research played a
significant role in this conference. The Center’s Principal Researcher
Dallas Drake delivered four separate workshop presentations to police
officers, corrections officers and other criminal justice professionals.
Drake is often regarded as a national expert on the topic of GLBT homicide.
The four-day conference included
presentations on hate crimes, homicide, coming out, professional
development, and the role of law enforcement in major social events. (more)
New Program
Offered for Homicide Investigators
Investigators looking for an opportunity to
advance their understanding of the phenomenon of homicide have a new
opportunity at the Center for Homicide Research. The Center now offers an
individualized, intensive study program tailored to meet the needs of both
experienced and new homicide investigators.
This unique opportunity offers a “learning
sabbatical” for investigators, away from the front lines, where they can
develop an advanced understanding of the homicide event and its analysis.
The program offers investigators a retreat to step away from the daily
pressures of investigations to reevaluate their own effectiveness and
investigational procedures. This program offers the chance to learn about
new research as well as proven tactics.
The Center provides an immersion style
seminar, with structured learning as well as independent study. Participants
will have access to the Center’s resource library with more than 1,200
books, an extensive vertical file, and 16 journals. Programs can be up to
five days in length.
Topics available include:
Lethality: What makes killing
successful?
Paraphilias: Investigating the deviant
homicide
Gay/Lesbian Homicide: Solving the fatal
encounter
Expressive Homicide: Investigation of
symbolic attacks
Anti-social Semiotics: Signs of killing
Missing Victim Homicides: Adults play
hide & seek
Crime-mapping: Connecting all the dots
Police and the Media: Taming the news
dragon
Deviant Homicides: Sex on the brain
Increasing Solvability: Achieving 100%
clearance
For specialized training needs or other
topics, please contact the Center and allow for adequate lead time.
To discuss the program and enrollment,

New
Partnership Expands GLBT Homicide Research into Washington DC
A landmark collaboration is underway
involving unsolved homicide of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
victims in Washington DC. This project will give CHR researchers unique
access to police records involving unsolved GLBT homicides in our nation’s
capital city. A major goal of the study is to develop new strategies for law
enforcement to increase their clearance and solvability rate of homicide
cases.
The Center is providing several components including the methodology design,
training and analysis. The Metropolitan Washington DC Police Department (MPD)
Major Case/Cold Case Unit will identify homicides and provide case files, as
well as office space and direct supervision of the data processors.
Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia is providing graduate students
in forensic psychology to analyze and code the cases as volunteers.
Approximately 125 unsolved GLBT cold case homicides have been identified by
MPD detectives for inclusion in this project.

Center Researcher Presents on Crime Scene Symbolism
at Qualitative Research Conference
Center for Homicide Research Principal
Research Dallas Drake deconstructed the messages and symbolism inherent
in homicide crime scenes at a conference hosted by the University of St.
Thomas. Drake's presentation investigated the crime scene using a process of
semiotic deconstruction, grounded in interpretivism and symbolic
interaction. Using crime scene behavior, Drake explored the
themes, possible explanations and relationships between the various actors
involved in the homicide incident.
Drake says, "Although offenders have the
right to remain silent, many have already spoken through their crime scene
behaviors. Often without realizing it, offenders impress themselves
into the crime scene medium." Using various research methodologies,
crime scenes can be understood through the process of semiotic
deconstruction, therein possibly facilitating the solving of similar
homicide cases.
The Midwest Qualitative Research Conference
was held at the University of St. Thomas Minneapolis Conference on April
17-18.
Church
Shootings Are Subject of Original Research
Two CHR research interns have developed
first-of-its-kind data on 140 shootings occurring in churches from
1980-2005. This data has the potential to provide insight into the nature of
hate crimes in churches and mass killings. Research interns Amy Kielmeyer
(University of North Dakota) and Derek Bixby, B.A. (University of Minnesota)
conducted the research and developed the data. The dataset is currently
ready to be submitted to the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and
Social Research based at the University of Michigan and is being prepared
for presentation at various national conferences.
Minneapolis-St. Paul Minnesota Historical Homicides
Become Focus of Special Project
A new research initiative being
undertaken at the Center for Homicide is showing that these perceptions are
not correct. The number and locations of homicide incidents in the
metropolitan area have changed over time, moved, and affected different
populations and ethnic/racial communities over time. These findings are in
stark contrast to widely held beliefs about homicide in the area. This
special project aims to catalogue and analyze nearly four decades of
homicide information using Minnesota Department of Health data, law
enforcement resources, media archives and historical documents. Student
interns and service learners from several area colleges and universities are
involved in this effort.
Detailed homicide case
files from the mid-1980s to the present have been developed. Archival
information from the 1960’s and 1970s are being evaluated and interpreted.
One aspect of this project is the use of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) tools to map these data over time to show the movement over time of
these homicide incidents, as well as the characteristics of these crimes.
