Laurent MUCCHIELLI, a researcher at the CNRS, works on juvenile delinquency, homicide and the history of the sociology of deviant behaviour.
This study is part of a broad research program on homicide in France, and follows up on an initial series of publications on the content of tried cases. We have now shifted our focus to those cases which will never go to trial because they have not been solved. The idea was to understand the actual content of criminal investigations work here, using two series of data.
