Critical elements in intimate partner homicides (IPH) often go undocumented. Previous studies have highlighted precipitating causes, but few have examined the place of injury that led to the victim's death. We sought to describe IPH cases in Illinois and in particular to examine factors surrounding the location of injury that led to the victim's death.
We analyzed data collected in the Illinois Violent Death Reporting System to assess victim demographics, perpetrator characteristics, the victim/perpetrator relationship, and circumstances surrounding the location of injury that led to the victim's death.
From 2005 to 2010, 275 cases were identified as IPH. Women comprised 60.4% of victims and men 39.6%. Among perpetrators, 78.5% were identified as male and 21.5% as female. Of the 31 corollary victims, 54.8% were less than 18 years and 58.1% were injured in front of a family member. Females were 1.6 times more likely to have the injury that led to their death occur at their residence, as compared to males (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.9). Cases in which the perpetrator had documented history of abuse were 2.4 times more likely to have the fatal injury occur at the victim's residence compared to those that did not have previous history (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2-4.8). IPH cases in which the perpetrator was the current partner of the victim were twice as likely to have the injury leading to the victim's death occur at the victim's residence compared to those perpetrators who were not a current partner (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.5).
Considering the increased risk of IPH occurring at the place of residence for women at the hands of current intimate partners and by perpetrators with a previous history of abuse, prevention efforts may wish to prioritize in-home and relocation intervention strategies.

亲密伴侣杀人案（IPH）中的关键因素往往没有记录在案。先前的研究强调了促成因素，但很少有研究检查导致受害者死亡的受伤地点。我们试图描述伊利诺伊州的 IPH 案件，特别是检查导致受害者死亡的受伤地点周围的因素。
我们分析了在伊利诺伊州暴力死亡报告系统中收集的数据，以评估受害者的人口统计学特征、犯罪者的特征、受害者/犯罪者的关系以及导致受害者死亡的受伤地点的情况。
从 2005 年到 2010 年，确定了 275 起 IPH 案件。女性受害者占 60.4%，男性受害者占 39.6%。在犯罪者中，78.5%为男性，21.5%为女性。在 31 名相关受害者中，54.8%年龄小于 18 岁，58.1%是在家庭成员面前受伤的。与男性相比，女性因死亡而受伤的可能性高出 1.6 倍（OR 1.6，95%CI 1.1-2.9）。与没有先前病史的病例相比，犯罪者有记录的虐待史的病例发生致命伤的可能性高 2.4 倍（OR 2.4，95%CI 1.2-4.8）。在犯罪者是受害者现任伴侣的 IPH 病例中，与不是现任伴侣的犯罪者相比，导致受害者死亡的受伤更有可能发生在受害者的住所（OR 2.1，95%CI 1.2-3.5）。
考虑到女性因现任亲密伴侣和有虐待史的犯罪者在住所中发生 IPH 的风险增加，预防工作可能希望优先考虑家庭内和搬迁干预策略。
