Abstract

The population of 46 men arrested in Detroit, Michigan, for killing their current or former spouse (legal or common law) or girlfriend during 1982 and 1983 is analyzed in the context of their killings. Analyses include demographic and social characteristics of offenders and victims, circumstances of offense, and arrest disposition. Where feasible, comparisons are made with general populations of homicide offenders.
