Breakdown of spousal violence-related homicides in France 2021, by previous violence
In June 2019, the Minister of Justice entrusted the Inspection Générale de la Justice (IGJ) with the mission of reviewing the cases which have been definitively judged to date involving homicides related to domestic violence committed during 2015 and 2016.
The report resulting from this mission, which required the exploitation of 88 criminal files that led to a trial at the assizes, showed that in nearly two thirds of the cases, conjugal violence had already been suffered by the victims. In two out of five cases, the victim had already reported the violence to the police.
