Abstract

The article focuses on a systematic review conducted by researchers at the University of Granada in Spain regarding filicide, defined as the killing of a child by a parent. The review aims to organize existing information to analyze the various features and circumstances surrounding these homicides, following the PRISMA criteria. It highlights differences in motivations and characteristics between male and female perpetrators, noting that mental illness, domestic violence, and attachment issues are significant contributing factors. The research emphasizes the need for more balanced, cross-cultural, and gender-inclusive studies on filicide to better understand this complex phenomenon. [Extracted from the article]
