Expert Warns Of More Familicides

"Dr. Richard Gelles says familicides, where a husband kills his family then himself, are prime indicators of a coming surge in domestic violence and child abuse... most of the men who commit the crimes are white males between the ages of 30 and 60 that have recently lost jobs or suffered a significant drop in income... When asked how you prevent such crimes, Gelles said you can't." (How many women are committing mass murder "familicides"  because of the economy?) Expert Gelles is the author of the highly flawed and biased "Conflict Tactics Scale" which is frequently misused by reseachers bent upon proving that women are domestic violence perpetrators equally with men.  http://www.abc2news.com/news/local/story/Expert-Warns-Of-More- http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/will-he-kill.html http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/why-he-kills.pdf
