As 70% of the killings of women takes place in the context of relational dynamics and in 80% of the cases the perpetrator is a man, we can presume that femicide constitutes much of the homicide mortality among women. Epidemiological surveillance of the killings of women can, therefore, provide indicators on the trends and geographical distribution of femicide and, indirectly, of the more general phenomenon of harassment and violence against women. The analysis of 40 years of mortality shows only a slight decrease of the murders of women nationwide. This suggests that the factors that underline this phenomenon are deeply rooted in the relationship between men and women. The decrease has taken place mainly in the South and Islands and the percentage SMRs point to a reversal of the relationship between geographic areas: thus, at the end of the observation period the North-West assumes a greater weight than the South and Islands. So we cannot exclude that part of the decrease in murders of women can be attributed to the overall decrease in homicides related to criminal activity, most pronounced in the South and Islands.
由于70%的女性被杀事件发生在人际关系动态的背景下，且80%的案件中犯罪者为男性，我们可以推测，杀害妇女构成了女性凶杀死亡率的很大一部分。因此，对杀害妇女事件的流行病学监测可以提供关于杀害妇女行为的趋势和地理分布的指标，间接地也能反映针对妇女的骚扰和暴力这一更为普遍的现象。对40年死亡率的分析表明，全国范围内女性谋杀案仅略有下降。这表明，这一现象背后的因素深深植根于男女关系之中。下降主要发生在南部和岛屿地区，标准化死亡比（SMRs）百分比表明地理区域之间的关系发生了逆转：因此，在观察期结束时，西北部地区的权重超过了南部和岛屿地区。所以我们不能排除女性谋杀案下降的部分原因可归因于与犯罪活动相关的凶杀案总体下降，这在南部和岛屿地区最为明显。
