Notes:	General Overview:This keynote paper from the 2008 International Conference on Homicide compares male non-lethal abusers with those men who murder their intimate female partners. Discussion: This UK-based paper discusses the similarities and differences between men who abuse and men who murder their intimate female partners. This paper analyses existing statistical data, qualitative and quantative data from the case studies of people incarcerated for murder and qualitative data from interviews within this same sub-section of people. Dobash and Dobash contrast men who physically abuse their partners with men who murder their partners by comparing factors in childhood, adulthood and the event of violence. The research suggests there are particular situational factors for murder; jealously, possessiveness and the use of a weapon. Surprisingly, they find that those men who murder an intimate female partner have usually had a more positive psycho-social upbringing and adulthood and are less likely to hold previous criminal convictions when compared to men who physically abuse their partners
