A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

SECOND EDITION

 

125: REVENGE

Revenge killing involves the killing of another in retaliation for a perceived wrong, real or imagined, committed against the offender or a significant other.

 

Defining Characteristics

Victimology. When revenge is the motive for a homicide, the victim may or may not personally know the offender, but something in the victim’s life—a significant event or interaction—is directly related to the actions of the offender. The revenge motive generated by this event may be unknown to the victim or the victim’s family or friends. Multiple victims may be involved depending on the nature of the event that triggered the act of revenge.
