Sexual Homicides and Their Classification According to Motivation: A Report from Argentina

Jorge Oscar Folino

National University of La Plata, Judiciary Department of La Plata, Judiciary Power of the Province of Buenos Aires, 506 Nro. 2457, B1897 GJG Manuel B. Gonnet, Argentina

Perpetrators of sexual homicide act in response to various motivations, and their victims are diverse. They are not necessarily affected by psychosis. They take advantage of their victims’ vulnerability or of favourable circumstances in order to take control of the situation. The characteristics of 16 persons accused of sexual homicide in the Judiciary Department of La Plata, Argentina are described in this article. The cases presented show that homicidal sexual violence is an instrumental behaviour used to attain differing objectives and is not necessarily perpetrated for sexual purposes. It is suggested that further research is necessary to improve the existing classifications.
