Increasingly there is global attention on the prevalence of women's
deaths resulting from intimate partner violence. Campaigns such as
'Counting Dead Women' in Australia, the 'Femicide Census' in
England, the Canadian Femicide Observatory, and the emergence of
family violence death review teams globally, build on the work of
agencies such as the United Nations and the World Health
Organisation, highlighting the fatal consequences of intimate
partner violence for women around the world. This book considers
the need for and the steps to be taken towards creating a
meaningful framework for a global index of women's deaths from
intimate partner violence. While there are global indices for
deaths that relate to public violence, such as terrorism, there is
to date no systematic global count of killings of women by their
intimate partners. It considers the possibilities and challenges
that arise in counting intimate femicide. It argues that such an
exercise needs to avoid narrow empiricism and instead be part of a
broader feminist political project aimed at ending violence against
women. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars
of criminology, sociology, law, policing, and politics.
