A man was arrested after his mother was found dead in her home in ReykjavΓk yesterday. The incident is being investigated as a murder, which would mark Iceland's eighth homicide this year. A criminologist has noted that this spike in homicides is unprecedented.
"It is unique in Icelandic history to have eight people murdered in the same year,"
"But what we are seeing this year, and in recent years overall, is more than just population growth. It suggests something is happening in Icelandic society that is fueling such severe violence."
According to MargrΓ©t, research shows that social inequality, for example, often fuels increased violence.
Ah yes. Social inequality!
