The authors suggest that every year about 33 percent of females and about 3 percent of males who are murdered in the United States of American, are as a result of intimacy, love, and engagements or co-habiting between men and women. Death among pregnant women are caused by an intimate partner with thevictim or the deceased across the country. It is not only in America where this problem is facing the people and households, but also among other nations, especially in the developing world.

The Book examines the killings among the intimate partners in regard to domestic homicides entailing all their guises. Hence, the analysis focuses not just on murders between partners, butalso the homicides that lead to the death of children, siblings, and parents as well. According to the analysts and researchers, the study in this book stands out to be distinct since most of the paststudies and research focused on statistical findings to explain domestic murders. However, Websdaleanalyzes the complex factors that facilitate domestic killings. The factors analyzed include kinship systems among different cultural groups, the nature of families that experience homicides, and types of gender and social oppression.
