Includes bibliographical references (Pages 313-325) and index.
In the United States and Great Britain, 20-30% of all homicides involve the killing of a woman by a man. Dobash and Dobash reveal what they learned from a three-year study that included 866 homicide case files and 200 in-depth interviews with murderers in prison. They focus on intimate partner murder, sexual murder, and the murder of older women, and compare each of these three types with those in which men murder other men. Each type is examined in depth and detail in a separate section that begins with an overview of relevant research, and is followed by a comprehensive examination of the murder event and the lifecourse of the perpetrators.
