Legal and Social Differences Between Men and Women Who Kill Intimate Partners

Karen D. Stout

Patricia Brown

This study of the differences between 23 men and 18 women who were convicted of partner homicide in Missouri found that the women were more likely to be injured and to seek medical attention as a result of the battering they received than were the men and had a higher level of fear of the batterers before they killed them. Furthermore, the modal sentence for these women was more severe than the modal sentence for the men.
