Contrary to what was expected, the results, at first glance, seem to suggest more similarities than differences between femicide suspect and victims, irrespective of suspect gender. Similar to previous femicide research (Moracco et al., 1998), the demographic profiles of female victims and their killers are remarkably similar in terms of race, age, and criminal history, regardless of suspect gender. Furthermore, for the most part contextual differences related to the femicidal incident (i.e., victim and suspect substance use, location, method, and case status) were not found. There were, however, a few telling differences discovered that indicate that suspect gender is an important consideration in the study of female homicide victimization.
