Notes:	Presents the theoretical framework, methodology and findings of a US study aimed at assessing the use, amongst survivors of both extra- and intra-familial homicide, of crisis intervention services. The findings support the view that survivors will be more likely to utilise services in the period immediately following the homicide and hence that crisis theory can be applied to the experiences and service needs of homicide survivors. Survivor’s relationship to the perpetrator was also identified as an important factor and the need for further research into the salience of familial relationships and survivors’ psychosocial outcomes is highlighted.
