Zusammenfassung:This book discusses the legal and criminological aspects of femicide. It scrutinizes the three key US criminal doctrines usually applied in femicide cases: provocation; the felony-murder rule; and self-defense. The work also explores the influence of the American Model Penal Code as it relates to the various relevant criminal doctrines applicable to femicide. It advances a detailed and innovative proposal to amend the Code, providing a socio-legal framework and response to issues inadequately addressed by legislative proposals in this context to date. While the focus is primarily on femicide in America, the issues discussed are of global relevance due to the tragically widespread nature of this crime. The book thus makes a significant contribution to the legal discourse of many other countries with similar legal structures
