Jane Monckton Smith (2019/2020)
Intimate Partner Femicide: Using Foucauldian Analysis to Track an Eight Stage Progression to Homicide

This British criminologist examined patterns in intimate-partner killings and developed an eight-stage model, beginning with a history of controlling behaviour and progressing through a relationship, a trigger (often separation), escalation, and ultimately homicide.

Her central argument is that the motivation to abuse and the motivation to kill may be connected by the perpetrator's need for control. It is a qualitative explanatory model, not a statistically validated prediction rule.
