| dc.description.notes | Summarises and discusses available empirical data on criminal homicide in Australia, including information relating to its incidence, victim and offender characteristics and the context and relationships within which homicides occur. Research describing and analysing the context and circumstances within which homicides occur is then presented, utilising the categories developed by Polk in his qualitative study of homicide. Particular emphasis is placed on the issues surrounding homicide in the context of sexual intimacy and the variety of legal challenges emerging in this area. The implications of findings relating to confrontational homicides, homicides in the context of family intimacy, homicides originating in other crimes, conflict resolution homicides and homophobic homicides for legal defences, such as provocation and self defence, are also discussed. Arguing the context within which homicide occurs must inform legal responses to the question of when murder is justifiable or excusable, the author suggests an amalgamation of sociological and legal categories and a rejection of traditionally accepted definitions is one way towards achieving this. | en |
