Abstract
The focus is on cognitions of men who murder an intimate partner and includes thinking prior to and after the murder. Based on the Murder in Britain Study, the qualitativ e accounts of v arious professionals included in the casefiles of 104 men conv icted of murdering a woman partner are used to examine beliefs about intimate relationships, orientations toward v iolence and prev ious v iolence to the v ictim, as well as subsequent denials, rationalizations, and justifications. We conclude that these and other cognitions are important elements of intimate partner murder and must be challenged and changed in efforts to eliminate nonlethal abuse and murder.
