亲密伴侣之间的故意杀人犯罪在故意杀人犯罪中尤为引人深思。亲密伴侣杀人犯罪，是指发生在配偶、情侣等类似亲密关系间的故意杀人犯罪，此类犯罪往往是亲密伴侣间虐待、暴力等负面行为极端发展的结果。亲密伴侣杀人犯罪由于其性质的特殊性，危害的严重性已经在全世界引起了广泛的关注，而研究的目的和重心在于提出相应防范措施起到预防犯罪发生以及保护被害人的作用，使其免遭亲密伴侣致命行为的侵害。为了预防犯罪保护被害人，部分国家已经出台了相应措施以应对当下的局面，但是从目前的实际效果来看，这一课题仍有相当大的研究空间及研究必要性。依据以往的理论和研究经验，利用风险因素制定相应的风险评估机制是可行的预防方案，故此确定被害人本身面临的风险因素对预防此类犯罪的发生至关重要。

研究成果表明，亲密伴侣杀人犯罪中被害人面临的具体风险因素包括来自其伴侣的先前暴力行为、年龄差异、酗酒吸毒赌博等恶习、分离状态、精神状态、社会地位及受教育程度较低、失业与贫困等。上述具体风险因素的研究结论主要源于国外学者的成果，由于历史、文化、意识形态、经济发展状况等种种客观因素的不同，发生在我国的亲密伴侣杀人犯罪具有独特性但又有相似之处，然而我国目前针对这一领域的研究内容相对空白，这并不意味着亲密伴侣杀人犯罪在我国不足以引起重视。2021年7月26日，浙江省杭州市中级人民法院对被告人许国立故意杀人刑事附带民事诉讼一案进行公开宣判，以故意杀人罪判处被告人许国立死刑，“杭州杀妻案”告一段落。无独有偶，“吉星鹏杀妻案”“上海朱晓东杀妻藏尸案”等震惊全国的案件都引起了相当的关注程度及讨论话题。根据我国裁判文书网公开的判决文书显示，仅近五年我国亲密伴侣杀人犯罪的数量就已超过3000起。无论是此类案件在我国的影响力或是我国的此类案件数量，都证明了针对此类犯罪进行研究势在必行，其中对被害人风险因素的探索更是尤为重要。

本次研究以中国裁判文书网公布的2014-2019年间中国大陆发生的全部亲密伴侣杀人案件判决书为样本，依据国外现有研究经验结合我国国情进行合理的问卷制作与变量设置，通过数据比对确定并分析我国亲密伴侣杀人案件中被害人面临的具体风险因素，并根据研究结论尝试提出相应预防建议。

Intentional homicide between intimate partners is particularly thought-provoking among intentional homicide offences. Intimate partner homicide refers to intentional homicide that occurs between spouses, lovers and other similarly intimate relationships. Such crimes are often the result of extreme developments in negative behaviour such as abuse and violence between intimate partners. Intimate partner homicide has attracted a great deal of attention worldwide due to its specific nature and the seriousness of the harm it causes, and the aim and focus of research is to propose preventive measures to prevent its occurrence and to protect victims from lethal intimate partner behaviour. Some countries have already introduced measures to prevent crime and protect victims, but there is still considerable scope and need for research on this topic in terms of its practical effects. Based on previous theoretical and research experience, the use of risk factors to develop appropriate risk assessment mechanisms is a viable prevention option, so identifying the risk factors faced by the victims themselves is essential to prevent the occurrence of such crimes.

Research findings indicate that specific risk factors for victims of intimate partner homicide include prior violence from their partners, age differences, vices such as alcohol, drugs and gambling, separation, mental state, low social status and education, unemployment and poverty. The findings of the above specific risk factors are mainly derived from the results of foreign scholars. Due to various objective factors such as history, culture, ideology and economic development, intimate partner homicide in China is unique but similar, however, there is a relative lack of research in this area in China, which does not mean that intimate partner homicide is not enough to be taken seriously in China. On 26 July 2021, the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court in Zhejiang Province handed down a public verdict in the criminal incidental homicide case against the defendant Xu Guo, sentencing him to death for the crime of intentional homicide, bringing the "Hangzhou Wife Murder Case" to an end. The "Hangzhou Wife Killing Case" came to an end. The "Ji Xingpeng Wife Killing Case" and the "Shanghai Zhu Xiaodong Wife Killing and Corpse Hiding Case", which shocked the whole country, have attracted considerable attention and discussion. According to the judgments available on our website, the number of intimate partner homicides in China in the last five years alone has exceeded 3,000. Both the impact of such cases in China and the number of such cases in the country prove that research into such crimes is imperative, with the exploration of risk factors for victims being particularly important.

This study takes all the verdicts on intimate partner homicide cases that occurred in mainland China between 2014 and 2019 published on the Chinese Judicial Documents website as a sample, and makes a reasonable questionnaire and variable setting based on the experience of existing foreign studies combined with China's national conditions. Through data comparison, we identify and analyse the specific risk factors faced by victims in intimate partner homicide cases in China, and attempt to make corresponding prevention suggestions based on the findings of the study.
