N2  - Homicide-suicide is a severe form of interpersonal violence, leading to shock and incomprehension in society at large. This review delineates the present state of knowledge regarding homicide-suicide by addressing the main theoretical underpinnings, the nature and incidence of these acts, the relation with other types of lethal violence and the characteristics of subtypes of homicide-suicide. Based on a review of the literature, several theoretical and empirical shortcomings are addressed from which directions for future research can be derived.<p />
