More about the book
The book examines the disturbing phenomenon where romantic love is used as a justification for the murder of women by their partners, often leading to societal sympathy for the perpetrators. Through an analysis of 72 domestic homicide cases over a year, the author critiques the narratives presented in the media, law enforcement, and judicial systems. This exploration sheds light on the systemic issues surrounding gender-based violence and the cultural attitudes that contribute to the minimization of these crimes.
