Abstract

Media research on intimate partner homicide (IPH) has primarily focused on male

perpetrators and female victims. This study analyzed 203 English-language news

articles of IPH involving male victims and female perpetrators for the year 2019.

Using thematic analysis, we identified two main themes: doubting the victim (who

is the victim?) and victim recognition (“he didn’t deserve this”). The findings suggest

that male victims of female perpetrated IPH tend to be blamed for their victimization

and represented as non-ideal and illegitimate victims in the news media.
