Defining
Characteristics
Victimology. The
victim has a familial or common law relationship with the offender. In
addition, there is a history of prior abuse or conflict with the offender.
Crime Scene
Indicators Frequently Noted. Usually only one crime scene is involved in
spontaneous domestic murder, and it is commonly the victim or offender’s
residence. The crime scene reflects disorder and the impetuous nature of the
killing. The weapon will be one of opportunity, often obtained and left at the
scene. There is no forced entry and no sign of theft. The crime scene may also
reflect an escalation of violence—for example, the confrontation starts as an
argument, intensifies into hitting or throwing things, and culminates in the
victim’s death.
