The literature on domestic violence will often treat homicide as
its most extreme outcome. The reality is more nuanced, with many
domestic homicides occurring within a history of abusive behaviour.
This book offers a much-needed synthesis of the literature on
domestic homicide, covering its history; the theories supporting
it; its various forms such as filicide, intimate partner homicide,
parricide, siblicide and familicide; and its prevention. The
authors explore the predominant theories that have been used to
explain domestic homicides in general, as well as specific subtypes
of domestic homicide. Each chapter then takes a chronological
approach in examining relationships between victim and perpetrator
in the most prominent types of domestic homicide. Drawing on the
empirical evidence, it offers a unique insight into the dynamics of
domestic homicides, and debunks some of the common stereotypes
surrounding it. The book concludes with an overview of the main
areas of prevention of domestic homicide and offers recommendations
for professionals working in domestic violence services, medical
practitioners and mental health services. This book will be of
interest to criminologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and
sociologists alike, and will be key reading for a range of courses
on violence, abuse and aggression.
