中文摘要

殺害親密關係伴侶，是親密關係暴力最嚴重的結果。以女性殺害親密伴侶案件觀之，文獻一致呈現，殺害親密伴侶的女性，以曾受親密暴力為多數，而女性殺害親密伴侶的動機以保護自己與家人為主。然而，國內文獻對於此一情境的描述仍不夠深入，忽略了女性如何從一個被害人反轉為加害人的歷程。除了這些身為親密暴力下的婦女外，其他殺人動機(嫉妒、經濟、親密暴力加害人)的女性之案件，詳細情形似乎也未被探討過。另者，研究者好奇判決書對於不同動機而殺害親密伴侶的女性，是否有不同的性別意涵。故本研究計畫企圖檢視法學資料庫案所有殺人案件，從2000 年到2013 年，包括非同居男女朋友、僱用殺手案件、與同性戀案件納入。本研究計畫的目的，是企圖從社會工作與法律的角度，更深入了解殺害親密伴侶的女性案件，以做為防止暴力工作的基礎。研究問題為：(1)了解曾為親密暴力受害人的殺人女性，從被害人轉換成殺人者的歷程；(2)比較不同的動機之女性殺害親密伴侶案件的案件：如自我防衛、嫉妒、經濟等不同殺人動機；以及(3)分析不同殺人動機案件判決書內容，了解法官如何理解親密伴侶關係，女性親密伴侶殺人案件，以及其中的性別意涵。根據以上的搜集資料的程序，從89年到102年殺人案件總數共6640件中，其中親密伴侶殺人案件共778件，確定男性殺人案件為636件，女性殺人案件為87案，性別不明55件。女性殺人案件中，排除判決結果為無罪案件、公訴不受理案件、改判為傷害罪案件、夥同他人共同殺人案件、以及雙方一起自殺未遂案件後，其餘61件為本研究的樣本件數，其中25案件殺人動機與忌妒相關，固本研究將著重於與忌妒相關之議題。
