在关于杀人罪的研究文献中，与其他人口特征，特别是受害者和罪犯的年龄和种族相比，性别通常受到较少的关注。在某种程度上，这是可以理解的，因为在美国，绝大多数，几乎四分之三的凶杀案都涉及一名男性杀害另一名男性。因此，通常的杀人模式在很大程度上反映了男性杀人的模式。然而，总体而言，女性犯罪和受害的趋势和模式存在着不应忽视的巨大差异。在这篇文章中，我们采用了一个国家凶杀案数据库（联邦调查局的补充凶杀案报告，SHR）从1976年到2015年与多个插补缺失的信息来研究性别差异的受害者和罪犯的特征，如年龄，种族，武器，情况，和受害者-罪犯的关系。
In the research literature on homicide, gender has generally received less attention than other demographic characteristics, specifically the age and race of victims and offenders. To some extent, this is understandable because the overwhelming majority, almost three-quarters, of homicides in the United States involve a male killing another male. Therefore, the usual patterns of homicide mirror for the most part the patterns of male homicide. However, there are substantial differences in the trends and patterns of female offending and victimization that should not be ignored in the aggregate. In this article, we employ a national homicide database (the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports, SHR) from 1976 through 2015 with multiple imputation of missing information to examine gender differences among victims and offenders in terms of characteristics such as age, race, weapon, circumstances, and victim-offender relationship.
