Abstract

In this research we examined the criminological background of aggravated cases of the most serious crime against human life of outstanding severity, the crime of multiple homicide, in Hungary. Pro­cessing the full range of data of the period 2000-2012, we performed a detailed analysis of 217 cases, 250 perpetrators and 532 victims altogether. The research aimed to explore the legal assessment and the perpetration motives of the crime, the perpetrators’ social and psychological backgrounds as well as the victims’ characteristics.
