在本文中，我们研究的模式和趋势之间的凶杀案的婚姻伴侣在美国1976年至1985年使用的数据从联邦调查局的补充凶杀案报告（FBI-SHR）。我们发现了16，595起配偶凶杀案，占这10年期间向FBI-SHR报告的所有凶杀案的8.8%。在这10年期间，配偶杀人率为每100 000名已婚者1.6人。妻子被配偶杀害的风险是丈夫的1.3倍。黑人丈夫比黑人妻子或任何性别的白色配偶有更大的配偶杀人受害的风险。受害的风险是更大的配偶在异族婚姻比在异族婚姻，并增加配偶之间的年龄差异增加。从1976年到1985年，黑人丈夫和妻子的配偶杀人风险下降了45.0%以上，但白色丈夫和妻子的风险保持相对稳定。配偶凶杀风险的人口统计学模式与非致命性配偶虐待报告的模式相似，这表明配偶凶杀和非致命性配偶虐待的原因可能相似。
In this paper we examine patterns and trends in homicides between marriage partners in the United States for 1976 through 1985 using data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supplemental Homicide Reports (FBI-SHR). We identified 16,595 spouse homicides accounting for 8.8 per cent of all homicides reported to the FBI-SHR during this 10-year period. The rate of spouse homicide for this 10-year period was 1.6 per 100,000 married persons. The risk of being killed by one's spouse was 1.3 times greater for wives than for husbands. Black husbands were at greater risk of spouse homicide victimization than Black wives or White spouses of either sex. The risk of victimization was greater for spouses in interracial than in intraracial marriages and increased as age differences between spouses increased. From 1976 through 1985, the risk of spouse homicide declined by more than 45.0 per cent for both Black husbands and wives but remained relatively stable for White husbands and wives. Demographic patterns in the risk of spouse homicide were similar to those reported for nonfatal spouse abuse suggesting that the causes of spouse homicide and nonfatal spouse abuse may be similar.
