亲密伴侣间故意杀人犯罪特征与发生机制

Characteristics and Mechanism of Intentional Homicide Between Intimate Partners

亲密伴侣间故意杀人犯罪是指发生于持续中或结束一段时间内的婚姻关系、恋爱关系(包括婚外情关系)中的故意杀人犯罪。从我国审结于2020年的案件可知,亲密伴侣间故意杀人犯罪数量约占故意杀人犯罪总数的1/3,呈现出性别差异性、隐蔽性、表达性、互动性等特征。一般紧张理论为此类犯罪发生机制的阐释提供了理论视角,征表“亲密不足”的激发因素是犯罪行为人压力的来源,性嫉妒等负面情绪推动犯罪动机转化为犯罪行为,环境的、个体的、关系的与情境的调节因素对犯罪动机向杀人行为的转化具有重要影响。

Intentional homicide between intimate partners refers to the intentional homicide that occurs during or after the continuous marriage,love relationship(including extramarital relationship).With the data of 2020 as the sample,intentional homicide between intimate partners accounts for about 1/3 of intentional homicide crimes and is the most important type of relationship between offenders and victims in intentional homicide crimes.The characteristics of crime show gender difference,concealment,expression and interactivity.The General Strain Theory provides a theoretical perspective for the mechanism of this kind of crime,indicating that the motivating factor of"lack of intimacy"is the source of the pressure of criminals;that the negative emotions such as sexual jealousy promote the generation of criminal motivation;and that the four moderating factors of background,individual,relationship and situation affect the transformation of criminal motivation to homicide behavior.
