Abstract

Principles of exchange theory are utilized to suggest conditions under which women involved in different types of intimate relationships may be likely to commit homicide against their male partners. A total of 1154 cases where the homicide offender was female are analyzed to suggest a link between relationship type and homicide. Age and race are found to have significant effects on the likelihood of homicide perpetrated by females.
