abstract="This article compares murder cases labeled &quot;honor killings&quot; with cases labeled &quot;family/spousal murders&quot; in the Canadian news media, exploring the construction of boundaries between these two practices. We conducted a systematic qualitative content analysis, examining a sample of 486 articles from three major Canadian newspapers between 2000 and 2012. Our analysis shows that &quot;honor killings&quot; are framed in terms of culture and ethnic background, presenting a dichotomy between South Asian/Muslim and Western values. Conversely, articles presenting cases as &quot;family/spousal murders&quot; tend to focus on the perpetrators' personalities or psychological characteristics, often ignoring factors such as culture, patriarchy, honor, and shame.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
