| Summary: |
Throughout this article discussed three issues that currently account for most social and
scientific concern in the field of gender violence in general and so-called femicide
(violent death of the woman executed by her partner) in particular. The first part is
focused on trying to assess, beyond what can be seen by simply examining the real
evolution of the number of cases, the analysis by applying correcting factors that help to
understand the phenomenon, of evolution of gender femicide in the last decade. Second,
is to deepen on one of the most striking facts, as it is suicide (accomplished or
attempted) of the aggressor after killing his partner that in the latest data now
approaches one third of total cases. Finally it also analyses whether the distribution of
femicide follows a uniform pattern to determine if it could be producing the so-called
"imitation or call effect" That, means certain individuals carry out or accelerate the
implementation of a gender femicide when getting through media, that others in a
similar situation have done so. |
