Abstract: Intimate partner violence (IPV) has a significant impact on female homicides, emphasizing the need to identify risk factors to enhance preventive measures. The article aimed to identify the risk factors associated with spousal homicide, especially distinguishing between cases related to intimate partner violence (IPV) and those unrelated to intimate partners. This study used a case-control research design and utilized logistic regression analysis to examine the risk factors linked to female homicide. The data were gathered via the implementation of structured interviews and the examination of publicly available information to assess the effects of various risk factors. The investigation revealed that intimate partner violence (IPV), drug addiction, and mental health issues are significant factors associated with female homicide. Specifically, there is a strong association between a well-documented record of intimate partner violence (IPV) and homicides that are connected to intimate partners.The findings underscore the need to address intimate partner violence (IPV), drug abuse, and mental health issues as essential elements of holistic strategies targeted at avoiding female homicides.
