| dc.description.notes | This article presents findings of research on women who kill. All cases in which a woman was investigated by police as a perpetrator in a homicide in Victoria, Australia, between 1985 and 1995 were examined. The aim was to investigate the range of circumstances in which women kill. Seventy-seven cases were identified. The primary source of data was the Victorian Coroner's office. Initially it was expected that most women would have killed a partner as a result of the experience of long-term violence. However, the findings of the study show that the situation with respect to women and those they kill is more complex. Three primary relationship categories were identified: women who kill their partners, women who kill their children and women who kill non-intimates. The third category primarily involved women who killed friends and acquaintances. This paper will argue that the homicide literature fails to provide a conceptual framework for understanding women who kill and hence contributes to the cultural stigmatising of violent women as "mad" or "bad".<br/ ><br/ >[Copyright ?
