Intimate partner homicide is one of the most common types of homicide and a significant contributor to domestic homicides worldwide, especially affecting females. We focus on the intimate partner homicides in Denmark during 1992-2016. Though gender identity data was unavailable, sex data from official documents enabled critical analysis. Of the 1417 homicides in the period, 26.5% were intimate partner homicides, i.e., 55.6% of female and 8.9% of male victims. The annual intimate partner homicide rate was 0.28 per 100,000 (0.44 for female victims and 0.12 for male victims), declining at a lower rate than other types of homicide. Most victims of intimate partner homicides were females (79.3%). The demographics of the victims and the characteristics of the homicides were markedly different depending on victim sex. Female victims were killed by more varied methods, with more severe injuries and followed by suicide in 26.5% and with multiple homicide victims in 8.1%.
亲密伴侣杀人是最常见的杀人类型之一，也是全球家庭凶杀案的一个重要因素，尤其对女性影响巨大。我们关注1992年至2016年丹麦的亲密伴侣杀人案。尽管无法获取性别认同数据，但官方文件中的性别数据有助于进行关键分析。在该时期的1417起杀人案中，26.5%为亲密伴侣杀人案，即女性受害者占55.6%，男性受害者占8.9%。亲密伴侣杀人案的年发生率为每10万人0.28起（女性受害者为0.44起，男性受害者为0.12起），下降速度低于其他类型的杀人案。亲密伴侣杀人案的大多数受害者为女性（79.3%）。受害者的人口统计学特征以及杀人案的特点因受害者性别不同而有显著差异。女性受害者的致死方式更多样，伤势更严重，26.5%的案件后续有自杀情况，8.1%的案件有多名凶杀案受害者。
