      abstract = {This edited collection addresses a substantial gap in the  existing literature on filicide by presenting the latest  research from empirical investigations around the world.  Despite its low occurrence, little is known about the  incidences, causes and circumstances of filicide nationally  and globally, and this international volume address the  challenges associated with explaining and understanding  filicide. Additionally, the authors also outline the role  of professionals in assessing risk, and the importance of  support for, and advocacy of, families of victims in the  aftermath of these tragic events.   Exploring a truly  diverse range of countries, from various English speaking  countries, to Chile, and Japan, this book presents an  authoritative look at research on filicide, and crucially,  examines the programs currently being developed for both  intervention and prevention. An important and  well-researched collection, this book will be of particular  interest for scholars of domestic violence and filicide, as  well as professionals such as social workers.--},
