Despite abounding evidence for the harmful effects of synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroids, they are commonly misused for competitive and body-image reasons. Steroids are often used in the context of poly-drug misuse, which may mask their specific effects on behaviour, such as increasing aggression. We present our case report as a concrete example of current steroid-related substance-misuse trends. A 25-year old Finnish male with various psychiatric and drug-related symptomology, but almost no previous history of aggressive behaviour, battered his wife to death and mutilated her body after a five-week steroid regimen.

Background: While there is no doubt that parental intimate partner homicide is associated with strong grief and post-traumatic stress reactions among the children who have been bereaved, there is little in-depth insight into how children and young people see and describe their circumstances and needs. Objective: Our aim was to shed light on children’s and young people’s perspectives on their life after parental intimate partner homicide. In particular, we were interested in how they experienced their living arrangements, social environment, and general well-being. Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 children and young people (8–24 years old; 15 females and eight males) who had been younger than 18 years when one of their parents killed the other (21 children lost their mother, two children lost their father). We used thematic analysis to synthesize the findings. Results: While most participants were fairly content with themselves and their living arrangements, they also expressed substantial and persistent difficulties, including distress, conflicts between family members, and feelings of unsafety. Most importantly, children’s self-image, their perspectives on their biological parents, and their views on their broader (family) environment varied considerably from participant to participant, and also between siblings. Conclusions: It is unlikely that straightforward guidelines can be given with regard to where the children should live after parental homicide, or whether they should be in contact with the perpetrating parent. Rather, this study’s findings underline the need to explore children’s individual viewpoints carefully during decision-making processes.

Cases and Conditions of Criminality in the Committing of the Crime of the Murder of Killing on the Spouse, Wife or Close Relative, the Purposes and Reasons of Their Committee Discovering and analyzing the causes and conditions of crime in the commission of any category of crime is a complex, interdisciplinary and human resource involvement activity in institutions directly and indirectly involved in the fight against crime. And this is true for any state or region, so the problem is similar for both Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Regarding the family environment, there are some families that, although they are “organized” are characterized by accentuated conflict states that can be of different intensity and can extend over different periods of time (starting from relatively simpler forms such as: quarrels, misunderstandings, sharp contradictions, refusal of marital or family obligations, etc. and reaching more complex, serious forms, such as physical aggression, expulsion from home, the existence of adulterous relationships, etc.). Descoperirea și analizarea cauzelor și condițiilor criminalității în săvârșirea oricărei categorii de infracțiuni este o activitate complexă, interdisciplinară și de implicare a resurselor umane în instituțiile implicate direct și indirect în lupta împotriva criminalității. Și acest lucru este valabil pentru orice stat sau regiune, așa că problema este similară atât pentru România, cât și pentru Republica Moldova. În ceea ce privește mediul familial, există unele familii care, deși sunt „organizate” se caracterizează prin stări conflictuale accentuate care pot fi de intensitate diferită și se pot extinde pe perioade diferite de timp (plecând de la forme relativ mai simple precum: certuri, neînțelegeri, neînțelegeri, dispute, neînțelegeri). contradicții tranșante, refuzul obligațiilor conjugale sau familiale etc. și ajungând la forme mai complexe, mai grave, precum agresiunea fizică, alungarea de acasă, existența unor relații adultere etc.). Cuvinte-cheie: omucideri, „parricidium“, „blestemul paricidului“, uxoricidul, familicidul, filicidul, infanticid, fratricid, sororicid, mariticid, uxoricid.

Nous proposons, à travers cette communication, un panorama, certes non exhaustif mais significatif, d’une variante assez répandue du meurtre de l’épouse dans la littérature et le cinéma : la mort par noyade. Nous étudierons quelques cas exemplaires que nous ne tirons pas, bien évidemment, de la vie réelle mais d’un répertoire de textes et d’images (les films), pour en dégager des constantes, en plongeant (c’est le cas de le dire) dans le roman et dans les traditions cinématographiques italienne, française et anglo-saxonne. Depuis la première et incontournable jeune femme morte dans l’eau (Ophélie, même s’il s’agissait en l’occurrence d’une sorte de suicide inconscient dicté par la folie) jusqu’aux typologies les plus récentes, nous proposons un travelling – qui ne doit rien au hasard – sur d’authentiques “cas” littéraires et cinématographiques, au sens d’“affaires” policières. Et nous tenterons de répondre à une question : pourquoi, parmi tant de modus operandi possibles (bien que tout à fait déconseillés, est-il besoin de le préciser ?), choisit-on de tuer sa femme “par voie d’eau” ? Et peut-on vivre heureux ensuite ?

12. Hincmar of Reims and his contemporaries about the uxoricide: church teaching and social practice Incmaro di Reims e i suoi contemporanei sull’uxoricidio: l’insegnamento della Chiesa e la pratica sociale

In the early middle ages the customary practice of killing wifes who did not conformed to the accepted norms (by breaking sexual code, plotting against her husband, practicing witchcraft), or were only suspected of doing it, was generally considered legal and tolerable, as testified the legal sources from different parts of Europe. During the 8th and 9th centuries growing influence of the Church on the matrimonial matters and the consolidation of the doctrine about spiritual nature of christian marriage and marital relations inclined the ecclesiastical authorities to make efforts to eradicate this sinful practice from social life. The different texts of this period cast light on the tension between traditional morality based on the „economy of honour” and christian teaching. This tension disturbed the stability of value systems of early medieval society. Writings of Hincmar of Reims dealing with the theory of christian marriage and the limits of husband’s authority over his wife (De coercendo ed exstirpando raptu viduarum, puellarum ac sanctimonialium; De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae) are here analysed in order to reveal that canonists and moralists of this period were aware of these conflicts, and tried to harmonize the contradictory norms. Such practices as mediation between the spouses, public penance and monastic exclusion of the adulterous wife can be considered as a model of the strategies proposed by ecclesiastical authorities to protect the woman’s life and at the same time to preserve honour of her husband. However, in spite of the Church condemnation of uxoricide and dissemination of the Christian concept of the marriage, the several cases from the narrative and diplomatic records from the 9th century clearly demonstrate that killing the wife in the name of family’s honour was not only the accepted tradition, but it was also considered as the moral obligation of the husband or his male relatives. The refusal to fulfill such obligation, even in the name of Christian principles, could be dangerous not only for the social position of the husband but also for his male identity.Nell’alto medioevo la pratica di uccidere la moglie che non rispettava le norme accettate (infrangendo il codice sessuale, complottando contro il marito, praticando la stregoneria) o che era semplicemente sospettata di farlo era in linea di massima considerato un atto lecito e tollerabile, come testimoniano le fonti giuridiche di molte regioni europee. Tra il secolo VIII e il IX la crescente influenza della Chiesa in materia matrimoniale e il consolidamento della dottrina sulla natura spirituale del matrimonio cristiano e dei rapporti coniugali suggerirono alle autorità ecclesiastiche di impegnarsi a sradicare questa pratica peccaminosa dalla vita sociale. I differenti testi di questo periodo gettano luce sulle tensioni tra la moralità tradizionale basata sull’“economia dell’onore” e l’insegnamento cristiano. Questa tensione disturbava la stabilità del sistema di valori della società altomedievale. Gli scritti di Incmaro di Reims che affrontano la teoria del matrimonio cristiano e i limiti dell’autorità del marito sulla moglie (De coercendo ed exstirpando raptu viduarum, puellarum ac sanctimonialium; De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae) sono qui analizzati per mostrare come i canonisti e i moralisti di questo periodo erano consapevoli di simili conflitti e cercavano di armonizzare le norme contrastanti. Pratiche come la mediazione tra i coniugi, le penitenze pubbliche e l’esclusione monastica della moglie adultera possono essere considerate come un modello delle strategie proposte dalle autorità ecclesiastiche per protegger la vita della donna e allo stesso tempo per salvare l’onore del marito. Tuttavia, nonostante la condanna dell’uxoricidio da parte della Chiesa e il diffondersi della nozione cristina di matrimonio, i numerosi casi che emergono dalle fonti narrative e diplomatiche del secolo IX dimostrano chiaramente che l’uccisione della moglie in nome dell’onore della famiglia non solo costituiva la tradizione accettata, ma era anche considerata come un obbligo morale del marito o dei suoi parenti maschi. Il rifiuto di adempiere a tale obbligo, anche in nome dei principi cristiani, poteva essere pericoloso non solo per la posizione sociale del marito ma anche della sua identità maschile.

Background: The loss of a parent due to intimate partner homicide has a major impact on children. Professionals involved have to make far-reaching decisions regarding placement, guardianship, mental health care and contact with the perpetrating parent, without an evidence base to guide these decisions. We introduce a study protocol to a) systematically describe the demographics, circumstances, mental health and wellbeing of children bereaved by intimate partner homicide and b) build a predictive model of factors associated with children's mental health and wellbeing after intimate partner homicide. Methods/Design: This study focuses on children bereaved by parental intimate partner homicide in the Netherlands over a period of 20 years (1993 - 2012). It involves an incidence study to identify all Dutch intimate partner homicide cases between 1993 and 2012 by which children have been bereaved; systematic case reviews to describe the demographics, circumstances and care trajectories of these children; and a mixed-methods study to assess mental health, wellbeing, and experiences regarding decisions made and care provided. Discussion: Clinical experience and initial research suggest that the children involved often need long-term intensive mental health and case management. The costs of these services are extensive and the stakes are high. This study lays the foundation for an international dataset and evidence-informed decision making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A common form of violence against women is sexual coercion on the part of their husbands/partners, the uncontrollable effects of which can lead to extreme consequences, as in the case of uxoricide examined in this report. It involved a 59-year-old female alcoholic, under observation on the part of social services as the possible victim of abuse by her husband, an amputee with a transtibial prosthesis. The woman had never admitted to her social workers that her husband was abusing her. One night, she was admitted to hospital in a state of hemorrhagic shock due to massive vaginal bleeding, but despite treatment, she died 20 min after arrival. The anatomical-pathological examination conducted by the hospital revealed serious genital lesions which warranted reporting the case to the Judicial Authorities, who arranged for a forensic autopsy. The cause of death was identified as acute meta-hemorrhagic anemia in a cirrhotic woman, secondary to a large, irregular vaginal lesion involving both the vaginal wall and the soft perivaginal tissues as well as the medium and small urogenital vascular branches. To identify the foreign body used to inflict this injury, a scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS) were used. This revealed tiny splinters of wood in the vaginal tissues examined. In addition to the genetic-forensic techniques used, this finding allowed the investigators to identify the husband's prosthetic limb as the instrument of sexual coercion. The report describes a particular case of marital rape that resulted in uxoricide, in which the overall concordance of the investigations carried out played a fundamental role in identifying the offending body and, consequently, the murderer.

Previous studies of ancient Greek examples of uxoricide in pregnancy have concluded that the theme is used to suggest tyrannical abuse of power and that the violence is a product of the patriarchal nature of ancient society. This article uses evolutionary analyses of violence during pregnancy to argue that the themes of sexual jealousy and uncertainty over paternity are as crucial as the theme of power to an understanding of these examples and that the examples can be seen as typical instances of spousal abuse as it occurs in all types of society.

Searching for "greener pastures," through education and skills learning, as well as escaping an increasingly failing Nigerian state, many Nigerian youth have moved to and acquired residency in Europe and especially United States and Canada. Approach: Whereas some, especially Nigerian males who arrived in the 1970s and 1980s and onwards married and settled down with spouses they met in their host countries, others were not so successful in their marriages or cohabitation with the locals, mostly White and African American women, as these marriages quickly broke down owing to cultural and values incompatibilities. With time rapidly passing and loneliness enveloping them, some have traveled to Nigeria, returning with the so-called "Fedexed" wives, several years, even decades younger. Again several of these often arranged marriages fail for several reasons, including patriarchy, conjugal conflicts and violence resulting in the men murdering their wives, some in gruesome and macabre ways. Results: This study applied the Intersectionality theory, predicated on patriarchy, culture, gender and power to evaluate some of the reasons for the marital tragedies, including the brutal murders of Nigerian women by their spouses in Nigerian families living in Europe, Canada and especially the United States. Conclusion: The study offered strategies for managing Nigerian and other Diasporic marriages, relationships and the attendant conflicts in such ways that Nigerians other ethnics who arrive in Europe and the Americas do not become statistics for such infamy as uxoricide (femicide) that ultimately draws long prison tenure or the lethal injection, while destroying their families forever.

The male and female identities of the late colonial neo-hispanic period were juridically defined. This opposition involved men's superiority and women's subordination in an asymetric relationship inside a patriarcal order. The murder of a woman by her own husband – uxoricide - reveals a conflict of that doesn't put into question women's subordination but expresses each one's conception about his own rights and obligations as well as his partner's ones. The confrontation between men and women was negociated on both the fields of expression and action. This particular quarrel ended with the murder of the wife.

- Abstract
L’homicide d’une partenaire intime a des répercussions majeures sur les protagonistes, leurs familles et la société en général en raison du caractère irréparable du geste. La compréhension de ce geste inscrit dans une relation de couple s’avère complexe en raison des implications émotionnelles. Le profil psychologique de l’homme ayant commis un homicide d’une partenaire intime semble une préoccupation des chercheurs dans ce domaine. Cette recherche, inscrite dans un processus de production d’une thèse en vue de l’obtention du doctorat de psychologie clinique (D.Ps.), a pour objectif d’évaluer et de mieux comprendre les traits de personnalité et les mécanismes de défense chez deux hommes ayant commis le délit d’homicide dans un contexte conjugal. Cette thèse est présentée sous forme de deux articles scientifiques. Le premier article rend compte de l’état de la recherche en relation avec les traits de personnalité et évalue les traits de personnalité de deux hommes ayant commis le délit d’homicide de la conjointe à l’aide de l’entrevue CDI-F (Westen, 2002) et du test SWAP-200 (Shedler & Westen, 1998). L’analyse des traits de personnalité se fait suivant les classifications catégorielle et dimensionnelle du DSM-5 (2015). Le deuxième article porte sur les mécanismes de défense dans le cadre des homicides conjugaux. Les résultats décrivent les mécanismes de défense des participants obtenus auprès d’une catégorisation des mécanismes de défense selon le DSM-IV-TR à l’entrevue CDI-F et d’une analyse du TAT (Murray, 1935) suivant l’interprétation de l’école française (Brelet-Foulard & Chabert, 2003). Les résultats sont présentés préconisant une méthodologie mixte quantitative et qualitative en vue de relever un ample éventail des traits de personnalité et des mécanismes de défense chez ces hommes. Les résultats relèvent une panoplie de traits de personnalité paranoïaque, narcissique, antisociale, limite, dépendante et histrionique (ce dernier seulement chez G). Ainsi, dans l

In Botswana, local news media outlets have documented the prevalence of so-called 'passion killings'; however, no published studies have been conducted that examine these intimate partner homicides. Using ethnographic content analysis informed by a theory of framing, this study investigated the characteristics of these crimes, and societal attitudes, myths and stereotypes regarding intimate partner homicides and passion killings. Articles from four Batswana newspapers were analyzed. The information derived from this analysis is used to develop future directions for the study of intimate partner violence and homicides in Botswana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the factors contributing to the decision of husbands to murder their wives instead of resorting to divorce in the U.S. The probable reason for such a decision is said to be the desire to escape responsibility and inconvenience associated with divorce, including alimony, loss of child custody and damage of reputation. Several spousal murders are cited including Herbert Eskridge who murder his wife Elsie and Rabbi Fred Neulander who allegedly conspire with assassins who bludgeoned his wife Carol resulting to her death in 1994.

This essay responds to D. Davis and W. C. Follette (2002), who question the value of motive evidence in murder cases. They argue that the evidence that a husband had extramarital affairs, that he heavily insured his wife's life, or that he battered his wife is ordinarily of infinitesimal probative value. We disagree. To be sure, it would be foolish to predict solely on the basis of such evidence that a husband will murder his wife. However, when this kind of evidence is combined with other evidence in a realistic murder case, the evidence can be quite probative. We analyze cases in which it is virtually certain that the victim was murdered but unclear who murdered her, and in which it is uncertain whether the husband murdered the wife or she died by accident. We show that in each case motive evidence, such as a history of battering or of infidelity, can substantially increase the odds of the husband's guilt. We also consider the actual case on which Davis and Follette base their paper. We argue that testimony of Davis on the basis of the analysis presented in their paper as properly excluded, for it would have been misleading and unhelpful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PSYCHOLOGY ,HUMAN behavior ,MURDER ,UXORICIDE - Abstract
A paper previously published in Law and Human Behavior by D. Davis and W. C. Follette (2002) argued that certain "profiling" characteristics commonly admitted into court have little or no probative value. They argued that this is especially likely to be true when the characteristic used as evidence (e.g., having an extramarital affair) is rather common in the population whereas the act in question (e.g., a man murdering his wife) is rare. Their analysis has prompted a strong response by Friedman and Park and by Kaye and Koehler with a rejoinder by Davis and Follette (all three follow this paper in this issue of Law and Human Behavior). This paper describes some of the nature of this controversy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a cross-culturally ubiquitous connection between men's sexual possessiveness and men's violence. Accounts of uxoricides or wife killings from a broad range of societies have been studied, and it is found that male sexual proprietariness, broadly construed to encompass resentment both of infidelity and of women's efforts to leave marriages, is everywhere implicated as the dominant precipitating factor in a large majority of cases. The discovery of wifely infidelity is viewed as an exceptional provocation, likely to elicit a violent rage, both in societies where such a reaction is considered a reprehensible loss of control and in those where it is considered a praiseworthy redemption of honor.

Gender-based violence is rooted in a network of multidimensional constructs encompassing personal, situational, social and cultural elements, as well as the intersectionality of these elements. Current research on victims of domestic homicide has not incorporated the use of this lens and has had a tendency to focus on a singular construct as independent and autonomous. The present study explored 20 dimensions of victim vulnerability. Cases from the Ontario Domestic Violence Death Review Committee were analyzed to examine the presence and frequency of these dimensions within the sample. Using two-step cluster analysis, different profiles of vulnerable victims were determined. Relationships between these profiles were explored in relation to the following variables; age, number of agencies involved, number of homicide risk factors, separation from an intimate partner, and various perpetrator-related factors. The results demonstrated distinct constellations of vulnerability. Implications and recommendations are discussed.

Background: While there is no doubt that parental intimate partner homicide is associated with strong grief and post-traumatic stress reactions among the children who have been bereaved, there is little in-depth insight into how children and young people see and describe their circumstances and needs. Objective: Our aim was to shed light on children’s and young people’s perspectives on their life after parental intimate partner homicide. In particular, we were interested in how they experienced their living arrangements, social environment, and general well-being. Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 children and young people (8–24 years old; 15 females and eight males) who had been younger than 18 years when one of their parents killed the other (21 children lost their mother, two children lost their father). We used thematic analysis to synthesize the findings. Results: While most participants were fairly content with themselves and their living arrangements, they also expressed substantial and persistent difficulties, including distress, conflicts between family members, and feelings of unsafety. Most importantly, children’s self-image, their perspectives on their biological parents, and their views on their broader (family) environment varied considerably from participant to participant, and also between siblings. Conclusions: It is unlikely that straightforward guidelines can be given with regard to where the children should live after parental homicide, or whether they should be in contact with the perpetrating parent. Rather, this study’s findings underline the need to explore children’s individual viewpoints carefully during decision-making processes.

30. UNCONSCIOUS SELF-DEFENSE IN AN UXORICIDE.

FORENSIC psychology ,SELF-defense (Law) ,MURDER ,UXORICIDE ,LEGAL justification ,ACTIONS & defenses (Law) - Abstract
this article explains the concept of unconscious self-defense, referencing the case of uxoricide. In light of all the evidence in hand, and particularly of that which accords to castration anxiety a central place in the understanding of the murder, a new concept emerges for forensic psychology--unconscious self-defense. When an individual on the basis of identification with a hated parent suffers from an unconsciously apprehended threat of castration, the stage is set for the triggering of an act of murder that may in essence proceed from a need to defend one's own life. Since the law has long recognized and even justified the killing of others in conscious self-defense, it may not be out of place to suggest that some consideration be given to such unconscious self-defense. One would not argue that defendants of this type should be forthwith exonerated, but if one regards crime as personal-social disease and not merely as formal violation of a legal code, the present concept can serve as a basis for understanding and treatment that would scarcely be possible without it. An offender like the above would require residence in an institution where he could be studied and perhaps cured of his dangerous unconscious orientation.

Dentro del ingente conjunto de manuales de educación femenina de los siglos XVI y XVII español, el caso de la Vida política de todos los estados de mujeres del padre Juan de la Cerda resulta ejemplar por un sinnúmero de razones. Entre éstas, el presente trabajo se propone analizar las secciones consagradas al problema social del uxoricidio, tan frecuente en su tiempo. Esta práctica cultural representa una ruptura donde la consonancia pedagógica entre religiosos y seglares se quiebra. En esta confrontación no se escatima ningún tipo de argumento -incluso los más irreverentes en términos teológicos- en aras de la ejemplificación de una tesitura que tiene por único y central cometido apartar a los consortes de un pecado legitimado socialmente.Amongst the vast set of manuals for female education in the XVI and XVII centuries, the case of Vida política de todos los estados de mujeres ("The Political Life of all Women States") by the Spanish father Juan de la Cerda is exemplary for a number of reasons. The purpose of the present paper is to analyze the sections of Cerda's book devoted to the social problem of uxoricide so prevalent in his time. This cultural practice represents a rupture in which the pedagogical concord between the religious and secular representatives was broken. In this confrontation no arguments were spared -even the most irreverent in theological terms-, for the sake of exemplification of a claim whose unique and central role was to remove the consorts of a socially legitimized sin.

En raison des différences en matière de définitions, de sources de données et de procédures judiciaires, comparer les homicides perpétrés dans les pays européens n’est pas une tâche aisée. Face à ces limites, nous avons établi une base de données commune sur les homicides en Europe (EHM). La Finlande, les Pays-Bas et la Suède sont les trois pays fondateurs de cette base de données ; toutefois, des actions ont été menées en vue de mettre en oeuvre cet outil dans d’autres pays d’Europe. Dans ce document, nous présentons cet ensemble de données ainsi qu’une récente analyse de l’un des types d’homicides les plus répandus : l’homicide conjugal. Ces résultats montrent que l’EHM, en tant que base de données commune, fournit une occasion unique de surveiller de près, et de manière détaillée, divers types d’homicides à travers l’Europe.

The most frequent homicide in the family is uxoricide, but in older couples the high frequency of homicide-suicide reduces the judicial investigations, including autopsy which is very rarely performed. Uxoricide represents the most extreme form of violence against women in the couple in later life and social isolation makes it very difficult to perceive and identify the existence of risk factors for uxoricide and prevent the crime. To better understand the characteristic of uxoricide in older intimate partners in Italy - with at least one member aged ≥ 60 yr - we have decided to select the casuistry not only from published official data, but from the media and newspapers reports in a five year period. The results have shown 91 cases of uxoricides in the five year period 2005-2009. The study indicates that uxoricide in later life involves mostly married Italian couples, aged 60-74ys, living in cities of the northern regions. The wife is killed mostly in spring-summer, by her husband in their marital home by shooting. Rage/jealousy is the most frequent trigger event and in 55% of the cases there is recurrence of suicide or attempted suicide of the offender.

Calderón trata el uxoricidio por adulterio en varias de sus obras ofreciéndonos una solución distinta según el género dramático: justicia humana conmutativa para dramas y comedias, y justicia divina misericordiosa para autos. Por otro lado, las leyes permitían el uxoricidio en caso de adulterio femenino, convirtiendo al marido en juez, fiscal y abogado defensor. El código del honor atentaba contra el mismo sentido de la justicia, castigando con la venganza a quien no había cometido delito alguno. Calderón deals with uxoricide following adultery in several of his works, providing different solutions according to the dramatic genre: human, commutative justice for secular plays; divine, merciful justice for religious plays (autos). On the other hand, contemporary laws al-lowed uxoricide in the case of women’s adultery, whereby the husband became judge, prosecutor and defence lawyer. The honour code went against the sense of justice itself, by punishing through vengeance those who had not committed any crime.

- Abstract
This study envisions Calderón’s honor wives as fairy tale princesses who marry well, if not wisely. Mencía and Serafina, the respective heroines of El médico de su honra and El pintor de su deshonra, are “kissed” or intimated upon during their matrimonial careers. However, rather than transforming them into romantic icons, the intimacy runs the women afoul of the Spanish honor code, and leads to their tragic deat, Este estudio analiza las mujeres de honor de Calderón como princesas de cuento que obtienen buenos matrimonios, aun que no inteligentes. Mencía y Serafina, las heroínas respectivas de "El médico de su honra" y "El pintor de su deshonra", reciben un beso durante su matrimonio. Pero mas que transformarse en iconos románticos, la intimidad hace que vayan en contra del código de honor hispano y les lleva a su trágica muerte .

Background: The loss of a parent due to intimate partner homicide has a major impact on children. Professionals involved have to make far-reaching decisions regarding placement, guardianship, mental health care and contact with the perpetrating parent, without an evidence base to guide these decisions. We introduce a study protocol to a) systematically describe the demographics, circumstances, mental health and wellbeing of children bereaved by intimate partner homicide and b) build a predictive model of factors associated with children's mental health and wellbeing after intimate partner homicide. Methods/Design: This study focuses on children bereaved by parental intimate partner homicide in the Netherlands over a period of 20 years (1993 - 2012). It involves an incidence study to identify all Dutch intimate partner homicide cases between 1993 and 2012 by which children have been bereaved; systematic case reviews to describe the demographics, circumstances and care trajectories of these children; and a mixed-methods study to assess mental health, wellbeing, and experiences regarding decisions made and care provided. Discussion: Clinical experience and initial research suggest that the children involved often need long-term intensive mental health and case management. The costs of these services are extensive and the stakes are high. This study lays the foundation for an international dataset and evidence-informed decision making.

National audience; Conformément aux doctrines conjugales du XVIe siècle et en pleine querelle des femmes, la soumission de l’épouse à son mari apparaît comme la condition d’un mariage harmonieux. Le mari dispose légalement d’un droit de correction sur son épouse et cette dernière lui doit obéissance et respect. Cependant, les archives judiciaires révèlent quelques cas d’interversion des rôles conjugaux. Les femmes « insoumises », sont ainsi accusées de bouleverser l’ordre social et la hiérarchie sexuelle. Mais, l’analyse d’interrogatoires, de lettres de rémission et de condamnations ne laisse entrevoir que les cas les plus graves de violence féminines : ceux qui aboutissent au meurtre du conjoint. Souvent mal informés, les uxoricides peuvent être considéré comme un épiphénomène des violences parfois exercées par la femme contre son époux. En effet, l’analyse des non-dits dans les sources judiciaires est révélatrice d’une forme de tabou liée à la figure du « mari battu ». La compréhension du récit historique est alors subordonnée au croisement des archives judiciaires avec des sources culturelles, croisement qui ne peut se faire sans une compréhension fine de la définition du mariage à l’époque moderne. Ainsi, entre les années 1540 et 1620, apparaît une certaine disproportion entre les représentations pléthoriques de la « mégère » dans les farces, les nouvelles ou les histoires tragiques et une réalité sociale marginale. L’étude de ces voix discordantes dans la littérature permet, dans une certaine mesure, une meilleure compréhension des formes de transgressions au sein du couple.

Nous proposons, à travers cette communication, un panorama, certes non exhaustif mais significatif, d’une variante assez répandue du meurtre de l’épouse dans la littérature et le cinéma : la mort par noyade. Nous étudierons quelques cas exemplaires que nous ne tirons pas, bien évidemment, de la vie réelle mais d’un répertoire de textes et d’images (les films), pour en dégager des constantes, en plongeant (c’est le cas de le dire) dans le roman et dans les traditions cinématographiques italienne, française et anglo-saxonne. Depuis la première et incontournable jeune femme morte dans l’eau (Ophélie, même s’il s’agissait en l’occurrence d’une sorte de suicide inconscient dicté par la folie) jusqu’aux typologies les plus récentes, nous proposons un travelling – qui ne doit rien au hasard – sur d’authentiques “cas” littéraires et cinématographiques, au sens d’“affaires” policières. Et nous tenterons de répondre à une question : pourquoi, parmi tant de modus operandi possibles (bien que tout à fait déconseillés, est-il besoin de le préciser ?), choisit-on de tuer sa femme “par voie d’eau” ? Et peut-on vivre heureux ensuite ? L’intervento propone una carrellata, sicuramente non esaustiva ma significativa, di una variante abbastanza diffusa dell’uxoricidio letterario e anche cinematografico : l’uccisione per annegamento. Si esaminano alcuni casi esemplari, ovviamente tratti non dalla vita reale ma dal serbatoio letterario e comunque immaginario (i film), per individuarne alcune costanti, pescando (è il caso di dirlo) nella narrativa e nella tradizione cinematografica non solo italiana ma anche francese e anglosassone. Dalla prima e importante giovane signora morta in acqua (Ofelia : anche se in quella circostanza si trattò di una specie di inconscio suicidio dettato dalla follia) fino alle tipologie più recenti, il saggio si propone di offrire una carrellata non casuale di veri e propri “casi” letterari e cinematografici, nel senso “giallo” del termine ; e cerca di rispondere a un interrogativo : perché, fra i tanti modi possibili (anche se sconsigliabili, è appena il caso di sottolinearlo), si sceglie di uccidere il coniuge “per acqua” ? E davvero poi si vive felici ?

Intrafamiliar violence, especially gender-based within a couple, is a very frequent phenomenon, not dependent from age or social status, and adopts different forms of aggression,: from emotional to physical violence. It is most common in societies or age-groups were women are assigned an inferior economic, social, cultural and emotional position as compared to men. In our region – Northern part of Italy (Lombardy) - in the last years a high percentage of intrafamiliar murder were registered (2005: 44,4% North Italy; 13,9% Lombardy) On a march afternoon a 66 y.o. man called the first aid telling to have killed his ex-wife (separated couple). At the arrival, of rescuers and police, the 67 y.o. woman was found dead in the living room (3:00 p.m). The crime scene appears immediately well defined and limited to the living room itself, where, near a prepared table for two and a heater, a woman was lying prone in an ample blood pond partially coagulated, no weapons or knifes were found on place. On the near couch were a pair of female sunglasses and a handbag. On another couch-bed, on a leaflet the motivations of the aggression were shortly annotated and on other leaflets were annotated sums given in loan to his ex-wife. At the external examination on scene (4:00 p.m) the woman was completely dressed in a juvenile matter, with multiple blunt injuries on the face - vast ecchymosis on the forehead and around the left eye - and head – on the right parietal region were two skin discontinuations with exposition of the bony surface. Around the body were some teeth, fragmented and intact. Post-mortem changes: no rigor mortis, no livor mortis; corpse inner temperature: 36.2°C (environmental temperature of 20.9°C). At autopsy a relevant head trauma was confirmed with diffused subarachnoid haemorrhage and multiple facial bones (jaw-bones, nasal bone) and skull fractures (cap and base). Intense blood infiltration around the cervical spine, multiple rib fractures, blood infiltration at the heart’s great vessel emergency and at the lumbar spine (L1-L2) were found. Ruptured liver and right kidney, with limited hemoperitoneum were also present. The cause of death was indentified in multiple head, thoracic and abdominal visceral and bony injuries. The man shortly after the uxoricide explained what happened to the investigators, he had invited his ex-wife to dinner, but instead of a calm lunch in good company, the ex-wife had come only to ask some money and was in a hurry because a friend was waiting out in car to accompany her to a dancing. This situation is then evolved in an animate altercation with his ex-wife about her frequent money requests, he had then attacked and beaten her to death with fists and kicks on her head (1:30 p.m.). The crime scene and autopsy findings confirmed multiple blunt force injuries extended to head, thorax and abdominal region; the blood infiltrations and the small amount of intracavitary intraperitoneal bleeding had allowed to conclude for an initial head and facial trauma and a terminal thoracic and abdominal blunt trauma, with fists, kicks and trampling of the woman first knocked down to the ground and then hit lying on the floor. The multiple localization and the severity of injuries permit to consider this case as an overkill by lethal blunt force trauma (fists and kicks) perpetrated by a single offender. The isolation of one of the spouses after legal separation in a senile couple and the continue requests of money denying the request of friendliness proximity and tenderness can lead to extreme aggressive situations. In this case after legal separation, the unequal permanent conditions between man and woman with the husband confined alone at home and the wife open to new socialization and a second youth, can be identified as an adequate primer to a violent action also in a person, who was up to that moment, considered a quiet retired ex fireman

Les identités masculine et féminine de la fin de la période coloniale novo-hispannique étaient déterminées juridiquement. Cette opposition impliquait la supériorité des hommes et la subordination des femmes dans une relation asymétrique à l’intérieur de l’ordre patriarcal. L’assassinat d’une femme par son époux –l’uxoricide- relève un conflit de valeurs : s’il ne met pas en cause l’assujettissement féminin, il exprime les conceptions de chacun concernant ses droits et ses obligations, ainsi que ceux appartenant à l’autre membre du couple. L’affrontement entre hommes et femmes fut une négociation des champs d’expression et d’action. Cette dispute en particulier se termina par l’assassinat de l’épouse. The male and female identities of the late colonial neo-hispanic period were juridically defined. This opposition involved men's superiority and women's subordination in an asymetric relationship inside a patriarcal order. The murder of a woman by her own husband – uxoricide - reveals a conflict of that doesn't put into question women's subordination but expresses each one's conception about his own rights and obligations as well as his partner's ones. The confrontation between men and women was negociated on both the fields of expression and action. This particular quarrel ended with the murder of the wife. Las identidades masculina y femenina de finales de la época colonial novohispana estaban determinadas de una forma jerárquica. Dicha oposición implicaba la supremacía de los hombres y la subordinación de las mujeres en una relación asimétrica dentro del orden patriarcal. El asesinato de una mujer a manos de su esposo –el uxoricidio– pone de manifiesto un conflicto de valores que, si bien no muestran un cuestionamiento total a la preeminencia masculina y a la sujeción de la mujer, expresan la concepción que cada uno tenía sobre los límites de sus derechos y obligaciones, así como los de su pareja ya que el enfrentamiento entre hombres y mujeres significó una “negociación” por campos de expresión y de acción, lo cual provocó un disputa que finalizó con el asesinato de la esposa.

Background: While there is no doubt that parental intimate partner homicide is associated with strong grief and post-traumatic stress reactions among the children who have been bereaved, there is little in-depth insight into how children and young people see and describe their circumstances and needs. Objective: Our aim was to shed light on children's and young people's perspectives on their life after parental intimate partner homicide. In particular, we were interested in how they experienced their living arrangements, social environment, and general well-being. Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 children and young people (8-24 years old; 15 females and eight males) who had been younger than 18 years when one of their parents killed the other (21 children lost their mother, two children lost their father). We used thematic analysis to synthesize the findings. Results: While most participants were fairly content with themselves and their living arrangements, they also expressed substantial and persistent difficulties, including distress, conflicts between family members, and feelings of unsafety. Most importantly, children's self-image, their perspectives on their biological parents, and their views on their broader (family) environment varied considerably from participant to participant, and also between siblings. Conclusions: It is unlikely that straightforward guidelines can be given with regard to where the children should live after parental homicide, or whether they should be in contact with the perpetrating parent. Rather, this study's findings underline the need to explore children's individual viewpoints carefully during decision-making processes.
