“…With regards to the country of origin of the perpetrator, the results suggest that there is a greater probability that the aggressor is Spanish when the victims also are, just as it is more likely for the perpetrator to be a foreigner when the victim is also a foreigner, from the same country as the perpetrator’s. Given that we have not been able to find past studies with an international scope that consider whether it is possible to infer the country of origin of a perpetrator on the basis of how the homicide occurs and of the victim characteristics, our results may be related, to some extent, to the findings of Soria-Verde et al [34], who established that there were no significant differences in the modus operandi between Spanish and immigrant homicides.…”

“…Few studies have examined whether or not differences exist in how the homicides are carried out based on the perpetrator’s country of origin. Soria-Verde, Pufulete, and Álvarez-Llaberia [34] revealed that no significant differences exist between Spanish and immigrant homicides, with regards to the modus operandi or the victim characteristics, only finding that prior arguments were more predominant in the homicides committed by immigrants.…”

One of the current trends in homicide research includes developing works based on scientific study and empirical evidence, which offer conclusions that can be used in an operational manner during police investigations. The objective of this study was to identify homicide characteristics from behaviors carried out on the crime scene and victim characteristics associated with those of the perpetrators of these crimes in Spain. The sample consisted of 448 homicide cases from the database of the Homicide Revision Project led by the Office of Coordination and Studies of the Secretary of State and Security. After creating six classification tree models, it was found that the modus operandi of the aggressor and the victim characteristics may permit hypothesizing about the demographic characteristics of the perpetrator (gender, age, and country of origin), his/her criminal record, and the type of relationship with the victim. Furthermore, the importance of the study of victimology during a criminal investigation is highlighted, as it may indirectly offer information about the potential perpetrator. The findings of this study suggest that criminal profiling contributes notably to the decision-making process to establish more rigorous suspect prioritization, improve the management of human resources and materials, and increase the efficiency of criminal investigations.

“…The presence of children who are not biological offspring of the aggressor is also corroborated by scientific studies but has not yet been identified. This association with childlessness requires more research and needs to be explored (Sebire, 2017 ; Soria Verde et al, 2019 ). Regarding the marital status, it is a factor associated with the IPF.…”

“…The evidence points at the history of interpersonal violence as a strong predictor of IPF. It could be evidenced in criminal records, and both are integrated into only a few instruments (Kivivuori and Lehti, 2012 ; Dobash and Dobash, 2016 ; Sebire, 2017 ; Soria Verde et al, 2019 ; Monckton Smith, 2020 ).…”

Intimate partner violence is a severe problem that has taken the lives of thousands of women worldwide, and it is bound to continue in the future. Numerous risk assessment instruments have been developed to identify and intervene in high-risk cases. However, a synthesis of specific instruments for severe violence against women by male partners has not been identified. This type of violence has specific characteristics compared to other forms of intimate partner violence, requiring individualized attention. A systematic review of the literature has been conducted to summarize the intimate partner homicide risk assessment instruments applied to this population. It has been carried out with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. The search strategy yielded a total of 1,156 studies, and only 33 studies met eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The data of these studies were extracted, analyzed, and presented on study characteristics (country and year, sample, data sources, purpose of the studies) and main findings (a brief description of the instruments, risk factor items, psychometric properties). The results indicate that the Danger Assessment, the Danger Assessment for Immigrants, the Danger Assessment for Law Enforcement, the Danger Assessment-5, the Taiwan Intimate Partner Violence Danger Assessment, the Severe Intimate Partner Risk Prediction Scale, The Lethality Screen, and the H-Scale are specific risk assessment instruments for predicting homicide and attempted homicide. There are differences in the number and content of risk assessment items, but most of them include the evidence's critical factors associated with homicide. Validity and reliability scores of these instruments vary, being consistency and accuracy medium-high for estimating homicide. Finally, implications for prediction and prevention are noted, and future research directions are discussed.

“…Esto último puede potenciar la desconfianza mutua entre los distintos grupos por su incapacidad para el entendimiento y por los estereotipos asociados a cada uno de ellos, lo que guía hacia un debilitamiento de los lazos sociales potenciales que compromete la comunicación y obstruye la búsqueda de soluciones comunes ante los problemas del barrio (Bursik y Grasmick, 1993;Snell, 2001). Otras explicaciones posibles tendrían que ver con los prejuicios y estereotipos asociados hacia determinados grupos étnicos (García España, 2019), las mayores tasas de delincuencia de determinados grupos inmigrantes (Ferretti et al, 2018) o el perfil diferencial en la severidad de la violencia ejercida en función del grupo cultural de pertenencia (Soria-Verde et al, 2019).…”
