| dc.description.notes | Provides a review of the literature concerning contract killings in Australia, and some legal and non-legal definitions of the term ‘contract killing’ before presenting the methodology and findings of a study aimed at identifying the incidence of attempted and completed contract killings in Australia, the factors that differentiate them from one another, the various typologies of contract killings and the role of police intervention in prevention. The study found that conflict associated with the dissolution of a relationship was the most common motive for contract killing but that, unlike homicide occurring in the domestic context, there is a distinct pattern of premeditation in contract killing. Other kinds of domestic dispute, such as threatening to leave an abusive relationship, were also found to be associated with contract killing. The characteristics of offences, victims and perpetrators are summarised and some implications of the findings for police intervention, policy and prosecution practices are suggested. | en |
