深入研究其伴侣试图杀害她们的妇女的生活，并确定可能有助于临床医生预测、预防或咨询杀害妇女或杀害妇女未遂的模式。对30个深度访谈的定性分析。六个美国城市。30名年龄在17-54岁之间的妇女在亲密伴侣的谋杀未遂案中幸存。除了2名参与者之外，所有参与者都曾经历过试图杀死他们的伴侣的身体暴力，控制行为或两者兼而有之。暴力、控制和威胁的强度变化很大，危险评估所衡量的风险因素的数量也是如此，确定了广泛的先前虐待。大约一半（14/30）的参与者没有意识到他们的生命处于危险之中。女性往往更关注涉及金钱、酒精、毒品、占有欲或不忠的关系问题，而不是暴力给自己带来的风险。大多数尝试（22/30）发生在关系改变的时候，但关系往往因为暴力以外的问题而结束。临床医生不应该错误地相信一个女人的安全感，缺乏严重的暴力史，或者存在一些典型的杀人风险因素。减少杀害妇女风险的努力只针对那些因暴力相关问题寻求帮助的妇女，可能会错过潜在的受害者。
To examine in-depth the lives of women whose partners attempted to kill them, and to identify patterns that may aid in the clinician's ability to predict, prevent, or counsel about femicide or attempted femicide. Qualitative analysis of 30 in-depth interviews. Six US cities. Thirty women, aged 17–54 years, who survived an attempted homicide by an intimate partner. All but 2 of the participants had previously experienced physical violence, controlling behavior, or both from the partner who attempted to kill them. The intensity of the violence, control, and threats varied greatly, as did the number of risk factors measured by the Danger Assessment, defining a wide spectrum of prior abuse. Approximately half (14/30) of the participants did not recognize that their lives were in danger. Women often focused more on relationship problems involving money, alcohol, drugs, possessiveness, or infidelity, than on the risk to themselves from the violence. The majority of the attempts (22/30) happened around the time of a relationship change, but the relationship was often ending because of problems other than violence. Clinicians should not be falsely reassured by a woman's sense of safety, by the lack of a history of severe violence, or by the presence of few classic risk factors for homicide. Efforts to reduce femicide risk that are targeted only at those women seeking help for violence-related problems may miss potential victims.
