Domestic/family homicide (D/FH) is a global social, economic and public health problem. To date, the research studies into risk factors associated with D/FH has largely focused on intimate partner homicide (IPH). A more contemporary approach recognizes that D/FH extends beyond the intimate partner relationship. This systematic review sought to identify and quantify the individual, relationship, community and societal factors in the empirical evidence literature on D/FH.
Eight electronic databases were searched from January 1999 to December 2020. Published journal articles on studies of D/FH were included if the study included victims and/or perpetrator of D/FH, reported risk and/or protective factors associated with D/FH, reported primary data and was published in English. Factors were descriptively synthesized by the categories of the social ecological model and D/FH sub-type.
Three hundred and forty published articles met the inclusion criteria. From 1999 to 2020 the number of articles on D/FH increased globally from 10 to 40 respectively, declining to 23 in 2020. Almost half of the articles examined populations located in the Americas (160, 47.1%), predominately the United States and the majority of articles used quantitative designs (277, 81.5%). The forms of homicide more commonly studied were intimate partner (171, 50.3%), and filicide (98, 28.8%). Approximately 90% of articles reported individual victim and perpetrator factors, 64.7% examined relationship factors, 17.9% examined community factors and 15.6% examined societal factors.
To inform universal and targeted D/FH elimination and prevention strategies, more research across different regions and a greater emphasis on community and societal-level factors is needed.
家庭/国内杀人（D/FH）是一个全球性的社会、经济和公共卫生问题。迄今为止，对与 D/FH 相关的风险因素的研究主要集中在亲密伴侣杀人（IPH）上。一种更为现代的方法认识到，D/FH 不仅限于亲密伴侣关系。本系统评价旨在确定和量化实证文献中与 D/FH 相关的个体、关系、社区和社会因素，并对其进行量化。
从 1999 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月，我们对 8 个电子数据库进行了搜索。如果研究包括 D/FH 的受害者和/或犯罪者、报告与 D/FH 相关的风险和/或保护因素、报告原始数据且以英文发表，则将研究 D/FH 的已发表期刊文章纳入研究范围。根据社会生态模型和 D/FH 亚型的类别，对因素进行描述性综合。
共有 340 篇已发表文章符合纳入标准。从 1999 年到 2020 年，全球关于 D/FH 的文章数量从 10 篇增加到 40 篇，2020 年降至 23 篇。几乎一半的文章研究了位于美洲的人群（160 篇，47.1%），主要是美国，大多数文章使用定量设计（277 篇，81.5%）。更常见的杀人形式是亲密伴侣（171 篇，50.3%）和杀亲（98 篇，28.8%）。大约 90%的文章报告了个体受害者和犯罪者因素，64.7%的文章研究了关系因素，17.9%的文章研究了社区因素，15.6%的文章研究了社会因素。
为了为普及和有针对性的 D/FH 消除和预防策略提供信息，需要在不同地区开展更多研究，并更加重视社区和社会层面的因素。
