TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Repercussions of homicide on victims' families: a literature review JO - Ciencia e Saude Coletiva A1 - Costa, Daniella Harth da A1 - Njaine, Kathie A1 - Schenker, Miriam SP - 3087 EP - 3097 VL - 22 IS - 9 N2 - This study aimed to perform a integrative literature review on the repercussion of homicide on victims' families from 1990 to June 2015. It was noted that the majority of studies on the subject has been conducted in the United States. Fewer studies carried out in Brazil and in other countries have been located. Four main themes have been identified: impact on health, the family system in the post-homicide period, re-victimization factors and post-homicide facilitating aspects.

FINDINGS of this study point to the importance of interdisciplinary care focused on this public, considering their health, social, financial and legal needs.
