| dc.description.notes | Explores the circumstances and characteristics of the homicide of intimates, children, parents, siblings and other family members in Australia over a 13-year period. It was found that thirty-eight per cent of homicides between July 1989 and June 2002 were perpetrated by a family member of the victim. Most of the 77 intimate partner homicides committed annually were performed by male offenders in a private dwelling because of a domestic altercation and on a weekday. Parents killed an annual average of 25 children; infants younger than one year experienced the highest level of victimisation. Of the 12 parricides committed each year, 89 per cent of the offenders and 56 per cent of the victims were male. Around six homicides between siblings occurred each year, brothers were more likely to be the victim, and sisters the perpetrator. Finally, eleven homicides occurred between other family members such as cousins, in-laws and grandparents. | en |
