| dc.description.notes | This book is based on research that examined the crime of familicide (murder-suicide of children and a parent) in the context of a dispute over custody or access. The author studied Family Court files, police records, newspaper reports and interviewed survivors. Names of family members have been changed to protect their identity. The first 7 chapters each contain a summary at the end. The first chapter tells their experiences. Of the 7 offences, a total of 21 people died and only 3 survived. The only child that survived has suffered long-term psychological and behavioural problems. The only surviving perpetrator continues to seek contact with his former wife. Research design and methodology of the descriptive study, including homicide data, are described in the second chapter. The processes, experiences and comparative contexts of the separation or divorce, and its aftermath, are discussed in the next series of chapters. The last chapter looks at keeping children safe. A common pattern is found among these offences, such as obsession, depression, violence, control and retaliation. In each case, shared warning signs include a history of domestic violence, stalking, threats to kill and even rehearsal of the offence, and a dispute about child custody or access. It dispels the myths and suggests that these crimes could be prevented. It also describes the trauma effects, and raises implications for policy, practice, prevention and further research. It is intended to be read by counsellors, social workers, doctors, teachers, court officers, lawyers, police, and the general community, who may have contact with families in trouble. | en |
