Resumen

Los homicidios de pareja, especialmente los cometidos por hombres, han recibido especial atención tanto desde el ámbito social como académico. Pese a esto, son pocos los estudios que han abordado el estudio de las diferencias existentes entre los homicidios de parejas cometidos por hombres y mujeres, habiendo encontrado las investigaciones en este ámbito que existen diferencias importantes. En este trabajo se analizan 149 casos de homicidio de pareja cometidos por hombres (n = 134) y por mujeres (n = 15), registrados y esclarecidos por la Guardia Civil entre los años 2013 y 2018. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias significativas entre ambos tipos de homicidios y que las explicaciones reduccionistas no tienen cabida a la hora de explicar fenómenos tan complejos y multicausados como los homicidios de pareja, independientemente del sexo del autor.
