Homicide, Infanticide, and Child Abuse Intimate Partner and Family Violence Crime Patterns and Interventions

Abstract

This paper argues that variation in the gender gap in homicide victimization can be explained by temporal and cross-national variation in two dimensions of stratification: gender differences in roles and gender differences in status. A model of the gender gap in homicide is formulated and tested using pooled time-series data from 18 developed democracies for the period 1950-1980. A number of hypotheses derived from this model are supported by the analysis. In particular, we find that women's non-traditional roles decrease the gap between females' and males' risk of homicide victimization, but higher female status increases this gap. Furthermore, the adverse effect of women's non-traditional roles on female homicide appears to be limited to contexts of low female status.
