什么是国内凶杀案？我们如何回答这个问题，对研究和实践具有重要的意义。研究、宣传和政策工作使用不同的定义来描述重叠现象，如家庭凶杀、家庭暴力死亡、亲密伴侣凶杀、亲密伴侣女性凶杀、血腥杀戮、杀人-自杀和配偶凶杀。在本章中，我们探讨了家族性杀人罪的定义，并思考了界定家族性杀人罪在研究和实践中的意义。如何定义国内凶杀案很重要，因为这一过程为我们的研究领域设定了边界，因此塑造了我们对国内凶杀案、其性质和预防潜力的了解。作为研究人员和实践者，我们可能会觉得当我们看到家庭凶杀案时，我们就知道它们，但重要的是有目的地考虑用来界定家庭凶杀案的标准，并评估这些定义对预防家庭暴力努力的潜在影响。
What is domestic homicide? How we answer this question has important implications for research and practice. Research, advocacy, and policy work use various definitions to describe overlapping phenomena, such as domestic homicide, domestic violence deaths, intimate partner homicide, intimate partner femicide, uxoricide, homicide-suicide, and spousal homicide. In this chapter, we explore definitions of domestic homicide and consider the implications of defining domestic homicide in research and practice. How domestic homicides are defined matters because this process sets up boundaries for our area of study and, therefore, shapes what we know about domestic homicides, their nature, and the potential for prevention. As researchers and practitioners, we may feel that we know domestic homicide cases when we see them, but it is important to purposefully consider the criteria used to define domestic homicide and to evaluate the potential impacts of these definitions on domestic violence prevention efforts.
