Abstract

Objectives: Bridge the gap between feminist scholarship and sociological literature on gun utility by examining the correlates of gun usage in heterosexual intimate partner homicide by offender gender. Methods: Using data on 7,588 incidents from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) from 2003 to 2018, logistic regression models examined the odds of using a firearm during intimate partner homicide for both male and female offenders. Results: Men disproportionately employed guns to regain control when their dominance and/or masculinity was threatened, whereas women used firearms in self-defense against an armed partner. Conclusions: The results suggest that gender-based motivations distinguish whether or not a firearm is used in intimate partner homicide.

强制控制还是自卫？调查男性和女性亲密伴侣凶杀案中使用火器的情况

目的:通过检查罪犯性别与异性恋亲密伴侣杀人中枪支使用的相关性，弥合女权主义学术与枪支效用社会学文献之间的差距。方法:利用2003年至2018年美国国家暴力死亡报告系统(NVDRS)的7588起事件的数据，logistic回归模型研究了男性和女性罪犯在亲密伴侣杀人过程中使用枪支的几率。结果:当他们的统治地位和/或男子气概受到威胁时，男性不成比例地使用枪支来重新获得控制权，而女性则使用枪支来自卫，以对抗携带武器的伴侣。结论:结果表明，基于性别的动机区分了是否在亲密伴侣谋杀中使用枪支。
