目的描述1996-2010年美国国内与骚乱有关的利奥杀人案的执法人员、遭遇、施暴者和受害者特征。方法对美国联邦调查局的年度报告《执法人员被杀和袭击》进行叙述性文本分析。如果叙述中包含“家庭骚乱”一词或描述了家庭骚乱的情况,那么潜在的案例就会得到确认。结果116只狮子座的狮子在响应家暴电话时被杀。这些杀人案中95%是持枪杀人的。67%的狮子座狮子在被杀时身穿防弹衣;然而,52%的狮子座狮子座头部/颈部受到致命伤。61%的嫌疑人有叙述中提到的犯罪历史,与参与其他形式家庭暴力的嫌疑人相比,亲密伴侣暴力的肇事者更有可能被Leos杀害。在与IPV有关的Leo杀人案中,有21%的家庭骚乱受害者被杀,而其他家庭骚乱电话中只有5%被杀。枪支是家庭骚乱受害者被谋杀的最常见武器(86%)。结论本研究描述了与家庭骚乱有关的利奥杀人案。未来在这一领域的研究应该进一步检查国内骚扰电话特有的危险。纵向分析可以更好地了解Leos面临的伤害和死亡风险,以便为执法部门预防凶杀提供信息。
ObjectiveTo describe the law enforcement officer (LEO), encounter, perpetrator and victim characteristics of domestic disturbance-related LEO homicides in the USA from 1996 to 2010.MethodsNarrative text analysis was conducted on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's annual report ‘Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted’. Potential cases were confirmed if the narrative included the term ‘domestic disturbance’ or a domestic disturbance situation was described.Results116 LEOs were killed while responding to domestic disturbance calls. Ninety-five per cent of these homicides were committed with a firearm. Sixty-seven per cent of LEOs were wearing body armour when killed; however, 52% received the fatal wound to the head/neck. Sixty-one per cent of suspects had a criminal history mentioned within the narratives and perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) were more likely to be killed by LEOs than suspects involved in other forms of domestic violence. Victims of the domestic disturbance were killed in 21% of the IPV-related LEO homicide cases as opposed to only 5% of other domestic disturbance calls. A firearm was the most common weapon used in the murder of a domestic disturbance victim (86%).ConclusionsThis study describes domestic disturbance-related LEO homicides. Future research in this area should further examine the dangers unique to domestic disturbance calls. A longitudinal analysis could provide greater understanding of the injury and mortality risks faced by LEOs, in order to inform homicide prevention among law enforcement.
