Authors: Easteal, Patricia
Bartels, Lorana
Keywords: Violence against women;Law;Victims / survivors;Perpetrators;Homicide;Women

Notes:  In the vast majority of cases where women kill their partners, there is a history of domestic violence. This can drive desperate women to attack or kill their partner. But when battered women fight back, the law does not always truly take into account the difficulty of their circumstances.
