Abstract:
|
Data from the National Violent Death Reporting System was used to calculate the prevalence of homicide followed by suicide within 24 hours (HS) and provide contextual information about HS. Within the seven states that provided data for 2003 (Alaska, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina and Virginia), sixty five HS incidents (homicide rate = 0.23/100,000 population) occurred. Within the 13 states that provided data for 2004 (the seven listed above plus Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin), 144 incidents (homicide rate = 0.24/100,000 population) occurred. Most victims (58%) were the perpetrator's current or former intimate partner. Among all male perpetrators of intimate partner homicide, 30.6% were also suicides. A substantial proportion of the victims (14%) were the children of the perpetrator. Most victims (75%) were female and most perpetrators were male (92%). A recent history of legal problems (25%), or financial problems (9%) was common among the perpetrators. The results support earlier research documenting the importance of intimate partner violence and situational stressors on HS. Efforts to provide assistance to families in crisis and enhance the safety of intimate partner violence victims are needed to reduce risk for HS. |
