Recommender event: Book launch. Taking Lives: Narratives of Latin American Femicide Perpetrators

New book about Femicide in Latin America! We are happy to announce that new litterature is available on the topic and we recommend all to join the event.

About this book

This book synthesises narrative research on men convicted of intimate femicide/feminicide in Latin America. Based on repeated biographical interviews conducted across eight countries, it offers a sociological exploration of the perpetrators’ lives and their processes of sense-making through the analysis of their narratives. The book identifies cross-cutting themes and narrative arcs in these men's accounts and examines how these relate to, interweave with one another, and help explain the perpetration of intimate partner violence. By deepening our understanding of harm-doing, it contributes to ongoing debates in criminology, law, public health, the social and human sciences of violence, and gender studies.

Back in 2023 Di Marcos wrote an article for us in LAG called "Of monsters and men: what we can learn from interviewing femicide perpetrators in latin america". You can read it here (page 22).

From there, LAG wrote an oped for Dagsavisen together with Di Marco and Mental Health and Human Rights info, wich you can read in norwegian here.

If you are interested in this topic, we also recommend this oped.
