How and why women Kill vs How and why men do!
How murders committed by women are, in descending order, for murder in general (that is, not serial killings).
Sharp objects to kill, suffocation, poisoning, bring up the bottom, shooting. Most often, the victim is dispatched in their home or their killer’s home.
How murders are committed by men, in descending order, for murder in general (same as above, not including serial murders).
Men more often use blunt objects or firearms to kill their victims, and surprisingly, poison is used by men more often than by women. But the stereotype, you scream, ain’t true!
As to the why…
In general, female killers, unlike their male counterparts, aren’t members of an aggressive, antisocial lifestyle. Generally, women were more reactive than men in their violent acts, much of the time killing someone they had previously been victimized by. Not necessarily the only motive, though. Shockingly, often, revenge wasn’t the motive at all but financial gain.
In addition, much of the time, both the victim and perpetrator were intoxicated.
When women kill for profit, you know, life insurance, the family wealth, it is either disguised as natural causes, an accident, or an act of violence by apparently someone outside the home or circle of friends. Hired killers may or may not be used.
The killing of a woman by a stranger was rare (RR = 0.18). More than twice as many women were shot and killed by their husbands or intimate acquaintances than were murdered by strangers using guns, knives, or any other means. Although women comprise more than half the U.S. population, they committed only 14.7% of the homicides. Well, that we know of!
The killing of a child by either parent is an act of despair and desperation — a reaction to an intolerable situation. Most often, they are suffocated in their sleep.
It is believed women are more organized in their killings than men. If they are, it becomes harder to determine how many victims a woman might’ve killed. In fact, with certain poisons, it might never be proved a death was murder.
Okay, what do you folks think?
