dc.description.notesExplores the phenomenon of murder-suicide in Australia. The data show that homicides followed by the suicide of the perpetrator occur about twenty times each year in Australia. Most of these murder-suicides occur in the context of intimate and/or family relationships, and are more likely to involve firearms than are other categories of homicide. It is suggested that a reduction in murder-suicide, and perhaps in violence generally, can only be achieved by strategies which lessen stresses occasioned by family dissolution, and by preventing access to firearms by inappropriate persons. The data on which this paper is based were collected as part of the National Homicide Monitoring Program at the Australian Institute of Criminology.en
