| Annotation | The authors conduct a critical analysis of existing family violence literature related to elder abuse homicide, also known as "eldercide". The focus relates to fatal violence perpetrated by current or former intimates. Men are the most likely victims of homicide, but are rarely murdered by partners. Older women are most often killed in the home by a spouse or other family, consistent with the notion of "femicide". The authors use the Federal Bureau of Investigation Supplemental Homicide Reports and the Bureau of Justice Statistics National Crime Victimization Survey to illustrate trends by sex over time. Intimate partner homicide-suicide is examined via news surveillance. Strengths and limitations of data and methods are addressed. Homicide trends among the members of the baby boom cohort are predicted, based on current and future patterns as they age. To facilitate prevention, researchers are encouraged to move beyond simple prevalence estimates toward greater understanding of complex trends, distinctions, and motivations of these violent deaths.
