Los factores predominantes en el femicidio y su relación con el incremento de este.

Abstract

Abstract: The crime of femicide is the most extreme expression of gender-based violence and is closely linked to structural, social, psychological, and cultural factors, all of which are predominant in the aggressor. These factors, in turn, are fully related to the increase in femicide. Factors such as prior dynamics of domestic violence and prolonged cycles of violence, including physical, psychological, or sexual violence; emotional or economic dependence; and, of course, the psychological approach from which the aggressor acts. Most femicides have a sentimental motive, which triggers a loss of control and a desire to punish the victim in the aggressor. The femicide perpetrator's behavior and motivations can be observed and analyzed through qualitative analysis of a specific case. The findings from this analysis will contribute to the prevention of this crime. Through a qualitative methodological approach, encompassing a type of descriptive exploratory study of the behavior before and after the event, providing the information to be analyzed about the aggressor's inner thoughts and the structural conditions surrounding his will in committing the crime.
