“…Respecto a los homicidios en la pareja, la cercanía emocional entre los miembros de una pareja conlleva un riesgo de violencia superior si se compara con otro tipo de relación familiar (por ejemplo, padre e hijo) tal y como muestran los datos estadísticos mencionados anteriormente. La violencia en este ámbito tiende a incrementarse en función de la duración y seriedad de la relación sostenida (Marcus y Swett, 2003) generando una forma de homicidio única debido a la génesis del mismo y al apego emocional entre la víctima y el agresor (Last y Fritzon, 2005). Si bien el homicidio en la pareja tiene elementos comunes con la violencia de género, existen características diferenciales entre ésta y los homicidios ocurridos en el seno del pareja (Winstock, 2007), básicamente por la base estructural de ésta y por el hecho de suceder entre los dos miembros de la pareja y no únicamente por parte del hombre hacia la mujer.…”

“…Salfati, 2000), when homicides within families have been the object of inquiry, the fi ndings have remained general and not specifi ed by type. Thus, intrafamilial homicides are marked by weapons that originate from the scene and multiple wounding to a single body part, whilst homicides between strangers are characterised by post-mortem injuries and single wounds to multiple body parts (Last & Fritzon, 2005). That is, intrafamilial homicides tend to be more expressive than stranger ones.…”

“…This work proposes that studying this relationship is relevant because the magnitude of the injury pattern may provide information about the extent of misogynistic attitudes, dynamics, and types of violent acts (8)(9)(10), contributing to prevent femicide more effectively. For instance, the act of violence may rise according to specific risk factors, resulting in worse wound patterns, as logically expected, as well as in more negative effects on morbidity and mortality.…”

The magnitude of the injury pattern in femicides by stabbing in Colombian womenLa magnitud del patrón de lesión en los feminicidios con arma cortopunzante en mujeres colombianas | Abstract |Introduction: Assessing the severity of the injuries suffered by victims may contribute to prevent femicide more effectively.Objective: To establish whether the amount of wounds recorded in femicides by stabbing vary according to the age of the victim and the victim-offender relationship. Materials and methods:Cases of Colombian women who were stabbed to death between 2011 and 2013 (n=331; age: 14-91 years) were included in the study. They were classified according to age ranges and the type of relationship with the offender. Descriptive analyses were conducted. Two one-way ANOVAs and a factorial ANOVA were performed to assess the differences in the mean number of the stab wounds received by the victim, and to determine the effects of interaction among the established categories. Results:The pattern of injury severity was higher in women aged 22 to 40 years than in those aged 41 to 55 years, and in women attacked by their intimate partners than in those attacked by strangers and acquaintances. Age ranges and types of relationship had an interaction effect on the dimension of the sustained wound. Conclusion:The age of the victims and the types of relationship they had with the offender are variables that should be considered to propose preventive policies on femicide since both are correlated to violent acts with greater injury patterns.Keywords: Homicide; Battered women; Public health; Forensic medicine; Wounds and injuries (MeSH).Vergel J, Trompetero-González AC. Objetivo. Determinar si el número de heridas en los feminicidios con arma cortopunzante varía respecto a la edad de la víctima y su relación con el atacante. Materiales y métodos.La población correspondió a mujeres colombianas lesionadas hasta la muerte con arma cortopunzante entre 2011 y 2013 (n=331; edad promedio 14-91 años), quienes fueron categorizadas por rangos de edad y tipos de relación con los agresores. Dos análisis ANOVA de una vía y uno factorial permitieron identificar diferencias entre los promedios de las lesiones de las víctimas y los efectos de interacción entre las categorías establecidas.Resultados. El patrón de gravedad del trauma físico fue mayor en mujeres entre los 22 y 40 años y con vínculos románticos con los agresores. Los rangos de edad y tipos de relación tuvieron efectos de interacción sobre la cantidad de heridas sufridas.Conclusión. La edad de las víctimas y el tipo de relación que tenían con el agresor son variables a considerar al diseñar políticas de prevención del feminicidio dado que su conexión con actos violentos resulta en un patrón peor de lesiones. IntroductionAlthough femicide is recognized as a public health problem around the world (1,2), in Colombia, most studies on this topic have focused on characterizing the victims and describing the violent acts (3-7); however, research directed to assess the relationship between ...
