الملخص

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل جريمة القتل في الضفة الغربية لسنة 2017 وفقا لبعض خصائص الجاني وهي (الفئة العمرية، الجنس، طبيعة العمل)، وقد استخدم الباحث المنهج الوصفي من خلال تحليل البيانات الصادرة عن الجهاز المركزي للإحصاء الفلسطيني وجهاز الشرطة الفلسطينية، وقد توصل الباحث إلى العديد من النتائج أبرزها: أن الفئة العمرية الأكثر ارتكاباً لجرائم القتل هي فئة الشباب، وأن الرجال أكثر ارتكاباً لجرائم القتل من النساء في الضفة الغربية بعشرة أضعاف تقريبا، وأن العاطلين عن العمل أكثر ارتكاباً لجرائم القتل من غيرهم، وأن العمال أكثر المهن التي يرتكب أصحابها جرائم قتل، وقد أوصت الدراسة بضرورة الاعتماد من قبل الأجهزة المختصة في مكافحة جريمة القتل على الإحصاءات الرسمية لوضع السياسات السليمة، كما أوصت الدراسة بضرورة توعية الشباب بمخاطر الجريمة، إضافة إلى ضرورة تفعيل عقوبة الإعدام على جرائم القتل.
