relationships in Serbia was conducted in 2016 on the sample of 153 cases of
murder of women in the context of intimate partnership, which occurred on the
territory of Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija) in the period from 2001 to
2015. The objectives of the research were to determine the existence and
identification of risk factors for femicide. The data was collected from the
criminal reports filed by the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia.

firearms, the influence of alcohol and psychoactive substances abuse, the
