“…Neonaticide is regarded as a crime of low prevalence but given its characteristics—there is no birth certificate, no one else may be aware of the child’s existence, and thus there is no “missing person”—it remains hidden. Due to these difficulties, few publications have been rigorous enough to come up with incidence rates (Klier et al 2013; Overpeck et al 2002; Putkonen et al 2007; Tanaka et al 2017; Tursz and Cook 2011).…”

This study aims to identify differences between single and repeat perpetrators of filicide by using register-based data. The study used register-based, comprehensive, nationwide data from both Austria and Finland. The current study covers 23 perpetrators, 20 single and 3 repeat perpetrators, with a total of 28 victims. All victims had a maximum age of 24 h and all perpetrators were women. Every third victim of neonaticide was a victim of a repeat case. The repeat perpetrators were older; had a higher number of children over their lifespan, some of whom lived with them; were more likely to live within established family structures; had higher levels of education and employment; had a higher proportion of personality disorders; and were more likely to identify stress factors during pregnancy. One unexpected finding was low levels of awareness about pregnancy within the perpetrator's circle remain a risk factor, especially for repeat perpetrators. Arguably, the quality of interpersonal relationships these women have may be affected by their own mental health issues and life experience and vice versa.

“…Due to the physiological requirements of pregnancy, there are almost no recorded cases of neonaticide that involve men. Given the way that neonaticide, the killing of a newborn in the first 24 hours of life, ensues it is also a difficult crime to identify and an even harder one to research (Klier et al 2013;Putkonen et al 2007a;Tanaka et al 2017). Despite these challenges, there have been some studies that have provided insight into the preconditions for neonaticide.…”
