Abstract
Intimate partner homicide and filicide are the most frequent types of intrafamilial homicides worldwide. These homicides have been the subject of growing interest in scientific literature in recent decades. Male perpetrators of filicide or intimate partner homicide share many psychosocials characteristics. However, research has highlighted different profiles of perpetrators of filicide and intimate partner homicide. The objective of this study is to better understand who are these men who kill their children or their intimate partner, and what sets them apart ? In this interview with Jean-Pierre Bouchard, Suzanne Léveillée and Carolanne Vignola-Lévesque try to answer this question based on the existing literature and their research data. They detail the different profiles and the similar and distinct characteristics between male perpetrators of filicide or intimate partner homicide, then present a new typology including three profiles. They provide avenues for intervention aimed to optimize the prevention of these family homicide.
