Abstract

After outlining risk factors for homicide, this paper highlights strategies for preventing male perpetrated homicide, and strategies for preventing females becoming homicide victims or offenders. A number of police services in Australia have adopted a similar strategy to United States Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams, and are undertaking individual projects in order to reduce the incidence of intimate partner homicide through evidence based intervention strategies.
