Homicide-suicides are a rare yet very serious form of lethal violence which mainly occurs in partnerships and families. The extent to which homicide-suicide can be understood as being primarily a homicide or a suicide event, or rather a category of its own is examined. In total, 103 homicide-suicides were compared to 3,203 homicides and 17,751 suicides. These are all events that took place in the Netherlands in the period 1992 to 2006. Logistic regression analyses show that homicide-suicides significantly differ from both homicides and suicides with regard to sociodemographic and event characteristics. The findings suggest that homicide-suicide might be considered as a distinct phenomenon from both homicide and suicide.
他杀后自杀是一种罕见但极其严重的致命暴力形式，主要发生在伴侣关系和家庭中。本文探讨了他杀后自杀在多大程度上可被理解为主要是一起他杀事件或自杀事件，还是属于一种独特的类别。总共将103起他杀后自杀事件与3203起他杀事件和17751起自杀事件进行了比较。这些都是1992年至2006年期间发生在荷兰的事件。逻辑回归分析表明，在社会人口统计学和事件特征方面，他杀后自杀与他杀和自杀均存在显著差异。研究结果表明，他杀后自杀可能被视为一种有别于他杀和自杀的独特现象。
