Title: Domestic Violence Homicides in Utah: 2000 through 2008
Summary: This report attempts to provide some background on domestic violence homicide in general, as well as further detail and context to incidents in Utah over the recent 9-year period (2000-2008). The data obtained from incidents in Utah appear to be consistent with previous research on domestic violence homicide, based on the data that was available. Homicide in general is a very complex crime, and domestic violence homicide in particular is influenced by many factors related to both the individuals involved as well as contextual and relationship factors. It is clear from the data presented here that many interrelated antecedents need to be taken into account when attempting to understand any given domestic violence homicide incident. A clearer articulation of these factors can hopefully help practitioners and policy makers who are involved in the prevention of domestic violence homicide involving intimate partners, children, and others.
