dc.description.notesOutlines the aims, methodology and findings of a study that reviewed all cases of familicide occurring in Western Australia between 1989 and 1999 in which residency and contact arrangements were being disputed by the parties, and drew on seven individual case studies to identify some of the differences and similarities between familicide and other forms of family homicide. A number of theoretical explanations for the incidence of familicide are also considered. The findings of the study indicate that there are some common patterns amongst families who have been victims of familicide – specifically, a history of domestic violence, obsessiveness and/or jealousy in the male partner, and poor or deteriorating mental health prior to the criminal act were found in most cases. Other trends emerging from the study are identified and some of the implications of these findings for policy and practice are suggested.en
