Child homicide, a historical issue, varies by age. Younger children (0-3 years) are typically victims of intra-familial homicide, while older children (over 12) face extra-familial threats, including juvenile crime.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Child homicide is a persistent global issue with a long history.
  • Homicide involving children can be categorized as intra-familial or extra-familial.
  • Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective prevention and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the age-related patterns of child homicide.
  • To differentiate between intra-familial and extra-familial child homicide.
  • To highlight risk factors and inform healthcare professionals about preventive measures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research on child homicide.
  • Classification of homicide cases based on familial association.
  • Analysis of age demographics in relation to homicide type.

Main Results:

  • In children aged 0-3 years, intra-familial homicide is predominant.
  • For children over 12 years, extra-familial homicide becomes more common.
  • Older children may become perpetrators in school homicide and juvenile crime incidents.

Conclusions:

  • Child homicide patterns significantly change with age.
  • Pediatricians and family physicians must recognize risk factors for early detection.
  • Awareness and understanding are key to implementing preventive strategies against child homicide.
