| Abstract: |
This article reviews major findings from the authors’ research on women killed by their intimate partners in Ontario. Between 1974 and 1994, killings by intimate partners accounted for between 63% and 76% of all women killed in Ontario. The authors document trends in intimate femicide, characteristics of victims and offenders, circumstances of the killings, and criminal justice responses to offenders. They also discuss the gender-specific nature of intimate femicides and identify ways in which intimate partner killings by males and females are distinctly different. |
