Filicide-Suicide: The Killing of Children in the Context of Separation, Divorce and Custody Disputes

O'Hagan, K.

O'Hagan explores the phenomenon of filicide, a deliberate act of a parent killing his or her own son or daughter. Examining over 120 cases of filicide in the UK, this book identifies relationship and family patterns in which situations may rapidly deteriorate, and children may become the ultimate weapon in disputes between partners.
