“…At 30% each, Black and Hispanic women represented the largest racial demographics of homicide victims. White women accounted for 20% of the pregnancy-related homicide victims (Paul et al, 2016). The study also found that 70% of homicide victims had no prenatal care in contrast to 64.2% of those who were pregnant who died by accidental causes.…”

“…Although there were still relatively few studies in this 15-year range related to the extent of homicide among pregnant/postpartum people in the US, this review adds to the literature regarding health disparities for Black women. (Bronson & Reviere, 2017;Cheng & Horon, 2010;Kivisto et al, 2022;Koch et al, 2016;Lin & Gill, 2011;Margerison et al, 2022;Morrison et al, 2022;Palladino et al, 2011;Paul et al, 2016;Wallace, 2022;Wallace et al, 2016Wallace et al, , 2021. With this finding, it is important to consider historical trauma that continues to influence US structural racism which is "the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics-historical, cultural, institutional and interpersonal-that routinely advantage White people while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color" (Lawrence & Keleher, 2004, p. 1).…”

This review focused on literature from the United States evaluating homicide during the perinatal period. It was completed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Seventeen studies met the criteria for inclusion, including: describing prevalence and risk factors related to homicide deaths of pregnant or postpartum birthing individuals; being conducted in the United States; and being published in English 2007 or later. This review found that homicide is an important contributor to maternal mortality and is a leading cause of death during pregnancy and the postpartum period, especially if an individual is Black and under the age of 30. Future efforts must be made to standardize data collection efforts and resolve nuanced terminology that results in interpretation challenges. The United States should examine maternal deaths through the entirety of the perinatal period and fully invest in violence prevention efforts.
