Current rates of intimate partner homicide of females are approximately 4 to 5 times the rate for male victims, although the rates for both have decreased during the past 25 years. The major risk factor for intimate partner homicide, no matter if a female or male partner is killed, is prior domestic violence. This review presents and critiques the evidence supporting the other major risk factors for intimate partner homicide in general, and for intimate partner homicide of women (femicide) in particular, namely guns, estrangement, stepchild in the home, forced sex, threats to kill, and nonfatal strangulation (choking). The demographic risk factors are also examined and the related phenomena of pregnancy-related homicide, attempted femicide, and intimate partner homicide-suicide.
目前女性亲密伴侣杀人案的发生率约为男性受害者的4至5倍，尽管在过去25年中两者的发生率都有所下降。亲密伴侣杀人案的主要风险因素，无论受害者是女性还是男性伴侣，都是既往的家庭暴力。本综述展示并批判了支持亲密伴侣杀人案（尤其是女性亲密伴侣杀人案，即杀妻案）其他主要风险因素的证据，这些因素包括枪支、分居、家中继子女、强迫性行为、杀人威胁和非致命性勒颈（窒息）。还研究了人口统计学风险因素以及与妊娠相关杀人案、未遂杀妻案和亲密伴侣杀人自杀相关的现象。
