O'Hagan explores the phenomenon of filicide, a deliberate act of a parent killing his or her own son or daughter. Examining over 120 cases of filicide in the UK, this book identifies relationship and family patterns in which situations may rapidly deteriorate, and children may become the ultimate weapon in disputes between partners.

Kieran O'Hagan is an established writer and former Reader in the School of Social Work at Queen's University, Belfast. He has worked for over twenty years in the social services in Britain.
