Abstract:
\nThis study examines public attitudes towards intimate partner homicide in the Turkish context, characterized by strong patriarchal values and orientations and widespread domestic violence. The study raises the following questions: To what extent and how does the gender of the offender shape public attitudes towards intimate partner homicide? More specifically, do patriarchal values lead to discriminatory attitudes towards the female offender? To address such questions, this study utilizes original experimental data, derived from an online survey experiment with a sample of university students (N=425), implemented in February-April 2019, and a population-based survey experiment with a nationwide sample (N=7240), conducted in October 2019.<\/p>\n
