Existing parricide research is largely situated within a North American and European context, and foregrounds mental illness or adolescent offender typologies. As such, a gap exists on parricides in other cultural contexts and those perpetrated by women. This paper examines historic domestic parricides committed by women in South Korea (“Korea”). Chosun Ilbo, a major Korean newspaper, was used as the data source to search for parricide cases reported between 1 January 1948 and 31 December 1963. Of the 102 newspaper articles on 92 completed or attempted parricide incidents during this period, 14 involved a female offender. Qualitative content and narrative analysis were employed. Findings indicate that daughters-in-law killed their fathers and mothers-in-law during routine domestic conflicts and in premediated attacks in response to verbal and emotional abuse unique to Korean women’s post-marital residence patterns. The implications of women’s subordinated positions in hierarchically organized family systems and cultural ideologies about women and crime are discussed.

现有的杀虫剂研究主要是在北美和欧洲的背景下进行的，其前瞻性研究是精神疾病或青少年犯罪类型。因此，在其他文化背景下和在妇女中所犯的壁垒之间存在差距。本文研究了韩国（“韩国”）妇女所犯下的历史性的家庭杀人行为。朝鲜日报一家主要的韩国报纸被用作数据源，以搜索在1948年1月1日至1963年12月31日之间报告的杀人案件。在此期间，在92篇完成或未遂的杀人事件中，有102篇报纸文章中有14篇涉及女性罪犯。使用定性内容和叙述分析。调查结果表明，Korean妇在例行的家庭冲突中以及在针对韩国妇女婚后居住方式所特有的言语和情感虐待的预先媒介袭击中杀死了父母。讨论了妇女从属地位在有组织的家庭系统和关于妇女与犯罪的文化意识形态中的意义。
