Abstract:
Intimate partner homicide is one of the most common types of homicide and a significant contributor to domestic homicides worldwide, especially affecting females. We focus on the intimate partner homicides in Denmark during 1992-2016. Though gender identity data was unavailable, sex data from official documents enabled critical analysis. Of the 1417 homicides in the period, 26.5% were intimate partner homicides, i.e., 55.6% of female and 8.9% of male victims. The annual intimate partner homicide rate was 0.28 per 100,000 (0.44 for female victims and 0.12 for male victims), declining at a lower rate than other types of homicide. Most victims of intimate partner homicides were females (79.3%). The demographics of the victims and the characteristics of the homicides were markedly different depending on victim sex. Female victims were killed by more varied methods, with more severe injuries and followed by suicide in 26.5% and with multiple homicide victims in 8.1%.
摘要:
亲密伴侣杀人是最常见的凶杀类型之一,也是全球家庭凶杀的重要原因,尤其是影响女性。我们专注于1992-2016年丹麦的亲密伴侣凶杀案。虽然没有性别认同数据,来自官方文件的性别数据实现了批判性分析。在此期间的1417起凶杀案中,26.5%是亲密伴侣杀人案,即,55.6%的女性和8.9%的男性受害者。年亲密伴侣杀人率为每10万人0.28(女性受害者为0.44,男性受害者为0.12),下降率低于其他类型的凶杀案。大多数亲密伴侣杀人的受害者是女性(79.3%)。根据受害者的性别,受害者的人口统计学和凶杀案的特征明显不同。女性受害者被更多的方法杀害,受伤更严重,其次是自杀的26.5%,多名凶杀案受害者的8.1%。
