Women Who Kill

The traditional notion of killing women is that they are not more violent than men, and their murder is a reaction and not their own stimulus. Women's murder is usually done at the criminal's residence, and usually these homes are shared with the victims. Compared with women, the percentage of male murder is higher in bars and taverns. In most cases, women kill their husbands, amateurs, and lovers, and then kill children and other relatives (Wolfgang, 1958; Ward et al., 1982; Wilbanks, 1982; Zimring, Mukherjee, & VanWinkle, 1983, Jurik , Winn).

The difference in media coverage is a beating person who kills male abusers and female colleagues who hit women. "The value of news" of a trial of a murdered woman is contrary to killing an abused woman, as in an old adage, when a dog chews, it is news, not a news, but a man bites a dog. After discovering the frequency of female murder and killing, there remains the question of why they will be killed. When a woman is killed, the possibility of being killed by self-defense is seven times higher than that of a man 24. Therefore, in case of abused women, 'self defense' 2 has subtle pseudo legal meaning.

The trials of the abused women who killed the attacker were to make a television movie. Evidence of these women's physical, psychological and sexual abuse will enable sensational media coverage and exploitation. Plots are not attractive, coupled with testimony of beaten psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and experts from non expert advisers. In these trials, the court may turn into a circus, an expert as a ring. Whether there is a problem with "the fight against women's syndrome prevention", whether supporters who support women's Chevrolet abuse use the court's specificity for women ignored in the legal system: whether self-defense Subcategory; and whether the testimony of experts of female syndrome abused in case of self-defense has adequate effect?

The commentary insists that expert testimony about the syndrome of an abused woman should not be used in a trial of an abused woman who kills abusers and demands self-defense. First, admitting expert testimony in these cases is dangerous to justice system and society for several reasons. This includes (1) inappropriate defense by lawyers and raising inadvertent legal activities, (2) solicitation of violence to end violence within the family, (3) women's society as a victim Enhancement of awareness, (4) The jury determines hard cases based on sympathy, not legal requirements. Second, as defined by the law and explained in the case law, the assertion of self-defense rights is sufficient to protect a woman who has been abused by protection against violent attacks. Finally, if a woman attacks a batter without his / her ability or without knowing it, that genocide is appropriate.
