Abstract

The most alarming type of intimate partner violence is homicide. Violence risk assessment of intimate partner violent offenders is a common topic in police and prison contexts with the aim of preventing recidivism and fatal results. The purpose of this study was to whether men who kill their intimate partner (intimate partner homicide - IPH) present different risk factors from those who kill women outside of a relationship (non-intimate partner homicide - non-IPH). The crime characteristics of 30 attempted or completed IPHs that were sentenced in Catalonia (Spain) between 2004 and 2009 are described. Moreover, the risk factors of 21 completed IPHs and 20 non-IPHs were compared using the RisCanvi, an actuarial risk assessment tool used in the Catalan prison context to manage inmates. Results differences between the two types of offenders in the criminal role and recklessness, more prevalent among non-IPHs, which is consistent with research indicating that IPH offenders are similar to other homicide offenders. The difficulties faced seeking to assess and manage the risk of IPH are discussed.

女性亲密伴侣和非亲密伴侣杀人的危险因素

最令人担忧的亲密伴侣暴力类型是杀人。对亲密伴侣暴力罪犯的暴力风险评估是警察和监狱环境中的一个常见话题，目的是防止再犯和致命后果。本研究的目的是了解杀害亲密伴侣的男性（亲密伴侣杀人-IPH）与在关系之外杀害女性的男性（非亲密伴侣杀人，非IPH）是否存在不同的风险因素。描述了2004年至2009年间在加泰罗尼亚（西班牙）被判刑的30名未遂或已完成的IPH的犯罪特征。此外，使用RisCanvi对21个已完成IPH和20个非IPH的风险因素进行了比较，RisCanvi是一种精算风险评估工具，用于加泰罗尼亚监狱管理囚犯。结果两类罪犯在犯罪角色和鲁莽行为上的差异，在非IPH中更为普遍，这与研究表明IPH罪犯与其他凶杀罪犯相似是一致的。讨论了寻求评估和管理IPH风险所面临的困难。
