Abstract

Numerous studies find that sexual jealousy is a motivating factor in many intimate partner femicides. Given the paucity of scholarship in non-Western societies, the current article sought to extend empirical knowledge on the subject by focusing on sexual jealousy homicides in Fiji. A total of 30 male sexual jealousy homicides and attempted homicides in that society during 2010–2020 were identified through a thorough search of official court documents and local media sources. An in-depth criminological analysis of each case focused on victim and perpetrator attributes and offense features. The article finds that each homicide became a high-profile case, judging by the amount of media coverage afforded the incident and the degree of public interest demonstrated in the case. In 24 out of the 25 homicide cases, an aggrieved husband slew a supposed adulterous wife; the assailant killed his wife’s new consort in the remaining case. The mean age differential between perpetrators and victims was 7.9 years, and the mean length of the marital relationship was more than five years. Stabbing with kitchen knives, slashing with machetes, and manual asphyxiation were the dominant modes of offense perpetration. Nearly all cases evinced the following triple features of male sexual jealousy homicides: jealous rage, premeditation, and excessive violence. Summaries of all 30 cases are proffered in the article to reveal their essential features.

Numerosos estudios encuentran que los celos sexuales son un factor motivador en muchos feminicidios de parejas íntimas. Dada la escasez de estudios en las sociedades no occidentales, este artículo buscó ampliar el conocimiento empírico sobre el tema centrándose en los homicidios por celos sexuales en Fiji. Treinta homicidios e intentos de homicidio por celos sexuales masculinos en esa sociedad durante 2010–2020 fueron identificados mediante una búsqueda exhaustiva de documentos judiciales oficiales y fuentes de medios locales. Un análisis criminológico en profundidad de cada caso se centró en los atributos de la víctima y dlel agresor y las características del delito. El artículo encuentra que cada homicidio se convirtió en un caso de alto perfil, a juzgar por la cantidad de cobertura mediática que se brindó al incidente y el grado de interés público demostrado en el caso. En 24 de los 25 casos de homicidio, un esposo agraviado mató a una supuesta esposa adúltera; el agresor mató al nuevo consorte de su esposa en el caso restante. La diferencia de edad media entre los agresores y las víctimas fue de 7,9 años y la duración media de la relación conyugal fue de más de cinco años. El apuñalamiento con cuchillos de cocina, el corte con machetes y la asfixia manual son los modos dominantes de perpetración del delito. Casi todos los casos evidencian las siguientes características triples de homicidios por celos sexuales masculinos: rabia celosa, premeditación y violencia excesiva. En el artículo se ofrecen resúmenes de los 30 casos para revelar sus características esenciales.

De nombreuses études montrent que la jalousie sexuelle est un facteur de motivation dans de nombreux féminicides de partenaires intimes. Compte tenu de la rareté des études dans les sociétés non occidentales, le présent article a cherché à étendre les connaissances empiriques sur le sujet en se concentrant sur les homicides par jalousie sexuelle aux Fidji. Trente homicides et tentatives d’homicide par jalousie sexuelle masculine dans cette société au cours de la période 2010–2020 ont été identifiés grâce à une recherche approfondie de documents judiciaires officiels et de sources médiatiques locales. Une analyse criminologique approfondie de chaque cas s’est concentrée sur les attributs de la victime et de l’auteur et les caractéristiques de l’infraction. L’article constate que chaque homicide est devenu une affaire très médiatisée, à en juger par la couverture médiatique de l’incident et le degré d’intérêt du public manifesté dans l’affaire. Dans 24 des 25 cas d’homicide, un mari lésé a tué une femme supposée adultère ; l’agresseur a tué le nouveau époux de sa femme dans le dernier cas. L’écart d’âge moyen entre les auteurs et les victimes était de 7,9 ans, et la durée moyenne de la relation conjugale était de plus de cinq ans. Les coups de couteaux de cuisine, les coups de machettes et l’asphyxie manuelle étaient les modes dominants de perpétration d’infractions. Presque tous les cas ont mis en évidence les triples caractéristiques suivantes des homicides commis par jalousie sexuelle masculine : rage jalouse, préméditation et violence excessive. Des résumés des 30 cas sont proposés dans l’article pour révéler leurs caractéristiques essentielles.

许多研究发现,性嫉妒是许多亲密伴侣杀戮女性的诱因。鉴于非西方社会缺乏学术研究,本文试图通过关注斐济的性嫉妒杀人案来扩展有关该主题的经验知识。通过对官方法庭文件和当地媒体资源的彻底搜索,确定了 2010–2020 年期间该社会发生的 30 起男性性嫉妒凶杀案和未遂凶杀案。对每个案件的深入犯罪学分析侧重于受害者和肇事者的属性和犯罪特征。文章发现,从媒体对该事件的报道数量和案件中表现出的公众兴趣程度来看,每起凶杀案都成为了备受瞩目的案件。在 25 起凶杀案中,有 24 起是受屈的丈夫杀死了所谓通奸的妻子;在剩下的案件中,袭击者杀死了他妻子的新配偶。肇事者与受害者的平均年龄差为7.9岁,婚姻关系的平均时间超过5年。菜刀刺、砍刀砍、手动窒息是主要的犯罪方式。几乎所有案件都显示出男性性嫉妒杀人的以下三重特征:嫉妒的愤怒、预谋和过度暴力。文章对所有30个案例进行了总结,以揭示其基本特征。

وجدت العديد من الدراسات أن الغيرة الجنسية هي عامل محفز في العديد من حالات قتل الشريك الحميم للإناث. نظرًا لندرة المنح الدراسية في المجتمعات غير الغربية ، سعى المقال الحالي إلى توسيع المعرفة التجريبية حول هذا الموضوع من خلال التركيز على جرائم القتل بسبب الغيرة الجنسية في فيجي. تم تحديد ثلاثين جريمة قتل غيرة جنسية ومحاولة قتل في ذلك المجتمع خلال الفترة 2010–2020 من خلال البحث الشامل في وثائق المحكمة الرسمية ومصادر وسائل الإعلام المحلية. ركز تحليل جنائي متعمق لكل حالة على سمات الضحية والجاني وخصائص الجريمة. ووجد المقال أن كل جريمة قتل أصبحت قضية بارزة ، بناءً على حجم التغطية الإعلامية التي وفرت للحادث ودرجة الاهتمام العام الذي ظهر في القضية. في 24 من أصل 25 حالة قتل ، قتل زوج متضرر زوجة زانية مفترضة ؛ قتل المهاجم رفيقة زوجته الجديدة في القضية المتبقية. وكان متوسط الفرق العمري بين الجناة والضحايا 7.9 سنوات ، ومتوسط طول العلاقة الزوجية أكثر من خمس سنوات. كان الطعن بسكاكين المطبخ ، والتقطيع بالمناجل ، والاختناق اليدوي هي الأنماط السائدة لارتكاب الجرائم. أثبتت جميع الحالات تقريبًا السمات الثلاثية التالية لجرائم القتل بالغيرة الجنسية للذكور: الغضب الغيور ، مع سبق الإصرار والترصد ، والعنف المفرط. يتم تقديم ملخصات لجميع الحالات الثلاثين في المقالة للكشف عن ميزاتها الأساسية.
