The medicolegal, psycho-criminological, and epidemiological reality of intimate partner and non-intimate partner femicide in North-West Italy: looking backwards to see forwards.

The agreement for the category “motives of crime” was highly significant (Cohen’s K was 0.92, p < 0.0001; 95% CI = − 0.036–0.101), as it was for the category “contentiousness” (Cohen’s K was 0.90, p < 0.0001; 95% CI = − 0.084–0.123) and for the category “overkilling” (Cohen’s K was 0.81, p < 0.0001; 95% CI = − 0.075–0.180) suggesting, according to Viera and Garrett [ 71 ] and to McHugh [ 72 ], a substantial interrater agreement coefficient for all of these variables.

Contrary to expectations and other studies [ 35 ], these findings suggest that differences in overkilling between intimate victims (52.1%; n = 25) and strangers or acquaintances (37.1%; n = 13) were only near statistical significance (OR = 1.84; 95% CI = 0.756–4.48).
