This exploratory study investigates intimate partner homicide (IPH) offenders’ criminal histories to examine opportunities for criminal justice system intervention. Data were collected from the Michigan Violent Death Reporting System and Michigan State Police for the 117 IPHs committed in 2014 and 2015 in Michigan. Descriptive statistics on types of criminal charges and convictions for the 103 IPHs committed by aggressors (e.g., not in self-defense) are presented, with relatively few domestic violence charges or convictions. Twenty-nine percent of offenders had no criminal history. Findings highlight a need for more effective and greater implementation of interventions for both criminal justice system-involved and not-involved offenders.

这项探索性研究调查了亲密伴侣杀人 (IPH) 罪犯的犯罪历史，以检查刑事司法系统干预的机会。密歇根州暴力死亡报告系统和密歇根州警方收集了 2014 年和 2015 年密歇根州发生的 117 起 IPH 的数据。提供了对侵犯者（例如，非自卫）实施的 103 次 IPH 的刑事指控和定罪类型的描述性统计数据，家庭暴力指控或定罪相对较少。29% 的罪犯没有犯罪记录。调查结果强调需要对涉及刑事司法系统和未涉及刑事司法系统的罪犯进行更有效和更大程度的干预。
