- Author:
- WILCZYNSKI Ania
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Criminology, 37(3), Summer 1997, pp.419-436.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Reports some of the findings of a research project on child-killing by parents or parent-substitutes, drawing on a sample of case files from the Director of Public Prosecutions in London from 1984, and a sample of fatal and non-fatal cases reported in the Criminal Appeal Reports and Criminal Appeal Reports (Sentencing) between 1980-90. It was found that the criminal justice system responds very differently to men and women who kill their children at all stages of the legal process, in accordance with the view that 'men are bad and normal, women are mad and abnormal. The paper concludes by suggesting ways to remedy this, drawing on more general criminological debates about sex and sentencing.
