This study investigated whether a significant relationship exists between a woman’s employment status and the potentiality of her being killed while in an abusive relationship. Would an abusive man be more likely to kill his female intimate partner if she sought independence from him (e.g., employment away from the home)? If he saw the woman’s employment as a means of leaving the abusive environment, he might consider ending her life before she could successfully leave the relationship. There was also a question of whether or not there were other factors related to domestic homicides. Men who kill the women they abuse usually display a few warning signs before the homicide takes place. Jealous, insecure, controlling, and dominant are just a few of the adjectives many women use to describe their male partners while in these chaotic relationships. Children who witness this behavior may be at risk of continuing the cycle of domestic abuse and/or committing other crimes in their adult life. In this study, the researcher used binary logistic regression in determining that women in abusive relationships were more likely to be killed if they were employed while in the relationship. In the analyses, her drug and/or alcohol use, his race, the presence of stepchildren, and the woman having control of her own income or money were also shown to be significant predictors of domestic homicide.
