Sumario:This study uses data from the National Homicide Monitoring Program within a context of national and international research to describe what is known about the trends and key characteristics of same-sex intimate partner homicide in Australia. Foreword While there is a sizable body of research on intimate partner homicide in general, there has been limited focus on intimate partner homicide involving people in same-sex relationships.
