Deadly Love: Gender Relations in Domestic Homicide (translated Documentary)
by (english) Jane Monckton Smith
About This Novel
In the UK, two women are killed by their partners every week; in the US, there are three victims every day; and in Mexico, there are about five victims every day. In 2020, the UK's intimate partner homicide rate doubled after the coronavirus lockdown, with similar increases seen around the world. Women make up 82% of the victims of intimate partner homicides. For a woman, the danger is most likely to come from a man with whom she is or has had an intimate relationship. Killers do not suddenly spiral out of control, and domestic violence is central to understanding intimate partner homicide. Crime modeler Professor Jane Monkton-Smith studied more than 400 intimate partner homicides to construct portraits of murderers and their motivations for killing wives, partners and even children, and found that murderers often follow a pattern of emotional manipulation. However, emotional manipulation is often difficult to detect, convoluted, or deeply hidden. Emotional manipulation is now a criminal offense in the UK. Professor Smith's work seeks to find ways to help individuals, charities, police forces and the judiciary identify and identify patterns of emotional manipulation, tracking how risks to potential victims escalate over time. She breaks this escalating risk into eight stages, a "homicide timeline." "Fatal Lover" uses real cases collected during work to review the eight stages of the "homicide timeline" one by one, visually displaying the mental processes of the victim, perpetrator and murderer at each stage, and debunking the "myths" about emotional manipulation, domestic violence and passion killing.

Falling in love is risky, and human nature cannot be overestimated. Although I don't have the intention to harm others, I still have the intention to guard against others.
Coming from Xiaohongshu, this book is really well written and provides an in-depth analysis of the behavior and purpose of controlling people with violent tendencies. Summarize the different stages of being controlled, alert people to this type of incident, and look at a common thing that is happening from different angles, but there is actually a hidden crisis behind it. It is really important to trust your own intuition. If you feel that something is wrong, don't be blinded by the filter of love. Instead, you should think carefully about why this behavior behaves and whether there is a supporting structure behind it. There are thousands of ways of expression. Why does his expression give you such a feeling? Does it reflect anything?
In our daily lives, we do not often encounter the kind of misfortune described in the book, but emotional manipulation and control to such an extreme degree are ubiquitous. During the reading process, you will be clearly aware of this, and you can learn to identify these manipulations, and ultimately you can better protect yourself and better control your life.
In fact, there are many cases in families. It is because of the husband's inconsideration and spanking that it arouses the wife's resentment and leads to disaster.
