The literature on domestic violence will often treat homicide as its most extreme form. The reality is more nuanced however, with many domestic homicides occurring within a history of abusive behaviour. This book offers a much needed synthesis of the literature on domestic homicide, covering its history; the theories supporting it; its various forms such as filicide, intimate partner homicide, parricide, siblicide, and familicide; and its prevention. Drawing on the empirical evidence, it offers a unique insight into the dynamics of domestic homicides, and debunks some of the common stereotypes surrounding it.
