description: Noting that conventional homicide indicators are based on male violence, Jensen (sociology, California State U.-Northridge) looks for factors that can be used to predict when and whom women will kill. She concludes that lethal violence is most likely when severe gender inequalities exist, and that political, economic, legal, and social equality for women would reduce all forms of lethal violence.
