To advance our understanding of the factors that predict homicide investigation outcomes, this study systematizes measures into five substantive domains of inquiry (involved subjects, incident circumstances, case dynamics, ecological characteristics, and investigator factors), drawing attention to the significance of each block as a possible conceptual model for subsequent clearance research. The domain-focused approach was tested using 2009 to 2011 homicide cases (N = 252). Findings suggest such comprehensive models may provide practical flexibility to researchers when confronted with data access restrictions while preserving a sense of conceptual sophistication.

在模拟凶杀案结果时，将焦点从变量转移到实质性领域

为了增进我们对预测凶杀调查结果的因素的理解，本研究将措施系统化为五个实质性调查领域（涉及的主题，事件情况，案例动态，生态特征和调查者因素），并提请注意每个区域的重要性，因为一个可能的概念模型，用于以后的许可研究。使用2009年至2011年的凶杀案（N = 252）对以领域为中心的方法进行了测试。研究结果表明，这样的综合模型在面临数据访问限制的同时，还可以为研究人员提供实用的灵活性，同时又保留了概念上的先进性。
