N2  - This Discussion Paper, ‘Just Say Goodbye’, examines the motives and background to ‘filicide’— the killing of children by a parent.
 
While these deaths are often described in the media as ‘inexplicable’, this new research identifies a link between the killing of children and violence against women.
 
The paper considers international research, Australian Institute of Criminology data and case examples of both fathers and mothers who kill their children.
 
This Discussion Paper is essential reading for people working in family violence and child protection, including lawyers and other professionals, and those working to prevent further deaths of children. Please note that: "While it is important that we explore the issues raised in
this paper, be aware that the material, particularly the case studies in chapters 4 and 5, is distressing." (from the website and report). Record #4713
