“…The hypothesis that maltreatment deaths represent a spectrum, rather than a single homogeneous group, is supported by our research and concurs with much of the published research into fatal maltreatment (Fujiwara, et al, 2009;Guileyardo, Prahlow, & Barnard, 1999). The classification system suggested was found to be workable in practice, and to provide some insight into different types of fatal maltreatment.…”

Fatal child maltreatment in England 2 Authors' ContributionsThe original idea for this paper came from Peter Sidebotham, who carried out the primary analysis and wrote the first and subsequent drafts of the paper.Sue Bailey and Pippa Belderson carried out the data extraction and coding and contributed to the analysis and to reviews of drafts of the paper.Marian Brandon had oversight of the main research project and contributed to data analysis and to reviews of drafts of the paper. Conflicts of InterestThe authors are all involved in ongoing analysis of Serious Case Reviews in England. There are no other conflicts of interest. FundingThis project was funded by grants from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (now Department for Education), UK Government. The Department for Children, Schools and Families provided access to all data used in this study. The study design, the interpretation of the results and the decision to submit for publication rested solely with the authors. Fatal child maltreatment in England 3 AbstractObjective: This paper presents comprehensive and up-to-date data covering four years of Serious Case Reviews into fatal child maltreatment in England. Methods: Information on all notified cases of fatal maltreatment between April 2005 and March 2009was examined to obtain case characteristics related to a systemic classification of five broad groups of maltreatment deaths (severe physical assaults; covert homicide/infanticide; overt homicide; extreme neglect/deprivational abuse; deaths related to but not directly caused by maltreatment).Results: A total of 276 cases was recorded giving an incidence of 0.63 cases per 100,000 children (0-17) per year. 246 cases could be classified based on the data available. Of these the commonest specific group was those children who died as a result of severe physical assaults. Apparently deliberate overt and covert homicide was less common, whilst deaths as a direct consequence of neglect were rare. In contrast, some evidence of neglect was found in at least 40% of all cases, though not the direct cause of death.Conclusions: Class characteristics differ between the different categories of death and may suggest the need for different strategies for prevention.

“…Gupta worked for a brief period in the year 2000. d'Orban 17 described six different groups of mothers who killed their children which were than extended up to 16 by Guileyardo and colleagues. 18 Here we are talking about filicide, a terminology which is used to describe one of the types of murder-suicide in which parents killed their children and then committed suicides. They also came up with many subtypes of filicides bases on motives and causes.…”

Over the past century child mortality rates have fallen to very low levels in all developed countries. However, there remain wide variations both between and within countries, and in many child deaths factors can be identified which could be modified to reduce the risks of future deaths. An understanding of the nature and patterns of child death and of the factors contributing to child deaths is essential to driving preventive initiatives. This paper reports on the epidemiology of child deaths in England and Wales. It draws on available data, particularly death registration data and other available datasets, along with published literature to highlight the issues relevant to reducing child deaths in developed countries. We highlight the different patterns of mortality at different ages within five broad categories of death: perinatal causes, congenital abnormalities, acquired natural causes, external causes, and unexplained deaths. Within each category we explore what is known about the main causes of death and some of the contributory factors and highlight how this knowledge may be used to help drive prevention initiatives.
