TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - The father, the son, and the abuser: the portrayal of male victims of intimate partner homicide in the news media JO - Homicide studies A1 - Hanson, Kenzie A1 - Lysova, Alexandra SP - 361 EP - 383 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - Media research on intimate partner homicide (IPH) has primarily focused on male perpetrators and female victims. This study analyzed 203 English-language news articles of IPH involving male victims and female perpetrators for the year 2019. Using thematic analysis, we identified two main themes: doubting the victim (who is the victim?) and victim recognition ("he didn't deserve this"). The findings suggest that male victims of female perpetrated IPH tend to be blamed for their victimization and represented as non-ideal and illegitimate victims in the news media.
