Abstract: The phenomenon of family murder-suicides presents a paradox. In various studies, the family is viewed as a support system for suicide prevention, yet in these cases, family members are encouraged to end their lives together. This research focuses on the question, "What does socio-criminology offer in preventing family murder-suicides?" The study employs a literature review method on two cases to illustrate the issues at hand. The findings attempt to offer prevention strategies through the connection between lifestyle, routine activities of the perpetrators, and suicide or murder acts. The influence of unstructured socialization can increase the likelihood of family murder-suicides. The research also suggests the structure of communities and families to prevent other factors that drive suicide or murder in the cases reviewed in this study. Additionally, this study recommends three prevention programs based on socio-criminological theories
