This discussion paper provides an overview of 51 cases of intimate partner homicide by men in Victoria, with an analysis of how family violence was recognised in homicide prosecutions. It has been prepared by researchers from DVRCV and Monash University. It includes a chapter on intimate partner homicides by women in Victoria 2005-2014. This chapter also outlines two brief illustrative case studies. The findings show that women continue to face difficulties through the legal process due to limited recognition of family violence and its impact on victims who kill abusive partners. Record #4988
