Download or read book Why Women Kill written by Vickie Jensen and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional homicide indicators are based on male violence - and do little to predict when, or whom, women will kill. Vickie Jensen shows that gender equality plays an important role in predicting female homicide patterns. Jensen's analysis of the occurrence of women's homicide reveals that lethal violence is most likely when severe gender inequalities exist in the family group. Her conclusions establish the clear relationship between political, economic, legal, and social equality for women and the reduction of all forms of domestic violence.
