Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 C 83
A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
Although the
vast majority of neonaticides are committed by parents of the victim,
overwhelmingly the mother, research has demonstrated no racial, cultural, or
socioeconomic association with neonaticide. Premeditation of the crime is rare,
with the more common scenario including a young, naive mother, with restrained
communication about sexuality in the home and traditional and socially isolated
homes with disciplining, harsh parents with whom she is close. Social isolation
of a neonaticidal mother may be obvious, but it also may be subtle: she may be
surrounded by friends and family, and yet no one really knows her.
