Title:	Homicide between intimate partners in AustraliaTrends and issues in crime and criminal justice
Authors:	James, Marianne Carcach, Carlos
Keywords:	Homicide
Type of violence:	Emotional and psychological abuse
Year:	1998
Publisher:	Australian Institute of Criminology
Citation:	No. 90
Notes:	The National Homicide Monitoring Program database at the Australian Institute of Criminology reveals that during the period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1996, just over one-quarter of the 2024 homicide incidents, where the offender was known, involved intimate partners. This paper forms the basis of a profile of intimate relationships which end in homicide. By its own definition, intimate-partner homicide makes any policy intervention difficult. However, with additional knowledge gained from other sources, these data could be used as a diagnostic tool for the prevention and treatment of domestic violence.
Contents:	Trends in intimate homicide The context of intimate homicides Factors associated with the occurrence of intimate homicides Predicting the incidence of intimate-partner homicide Discussion and policy implications References.
