Femicide: A social challenge

Abstract: Résumé Le fémicide est plus qu’un néologisme. Il désigne un phénomène violent et un meurtre intentionnel. Tous les fémicides sont l’expression d’une forme extrême de violence. Il s’agit d’une « pathologie sociale ». Nous devons donc lutter à l’échelle locale et mondiale contre ces crimes atroces et méprisables. Peu de sociétés sont épargnées par cette forme de violence. Nous devons donc décrire, analyser et rendre compte de ce phénomène. Cet article explore les différentes approches internationales du fémicide… Show more

“…Data on femicide remain difficult to access and collect locally and globally (Dawson et al, 2018, 2019; Marcuello-Servós et al, 2016; Walby et al, 2017; Walklate et al, 2019; Weil et al, 2018), especially in some world regions (e.g. South Africa, Latin America) and for some groups of women and girls (e.g.…”

“…While the protocol specifically targets criminal justice investigations, it serves as a crucial starting point for researchers aimed at measuring femicide, documenting trends within and across countries, and better informing prevention efforts. Continuing to move discussions forward, a 2016 special issue of Current Sociology focused on femicide as a ‘social challenge’ that requires ‘accurate conceptualization to relate to and develop scientific findings’ (Marcuello-Servós et al, 2016: 967–968). The ultimate goal of the special issue was to work toward ‘establishing convergence in research clarity and a consensus on definitions, drawing together a structured corpus of knowledge that can help improve the efficacy of policies for femicide prevention’ (p. 968).…”

“…While Europe had lagged behind the US, Canada, South America and South Africa in research and the study of femicide, European scholars are now at the forefront of publications in the field. Active COST members Corradi, Marcuello, Boira and Weil edited the first special issue on femicide in sociology in a 2016 issue of Current Sociology (Marcuello-Servós et al, 2016). Weil and Kouta edited the first special issue in qualitative sociology in a 2017 issue of Qualitative Sociology Review .…”

“…The study of femicide has taken leaps forward in the past few years, spearheaded by ACUNS (Academic Council on the United Nations System), which has published five volumes on femicide to date. In addition, the COST (Cooperation on Science and Technology) Action IS1206 on «Femicide across Europe» 1 has enabled networking between members hailing from 30 different countries, and resulted in several scientific publications on the subject, including a Special Issue in Current Sociology (Marcuello-Servós et al 2016) and articles in different journals, e.g. European Journal of Criminology (Corradi and Stockl 2014) and Qualitative Sociology Review (Weil 2016a).…”
