    Abstract
    The media and community reaction to Australia's most recent filicide case is the starting point for an analysis of the continuing misrecognition of "family" violence as isolated tragic events that could "happen to anyone". It does not. There is a clear pattern of women victims and male perpetrators, many of whom kill over lost love. A particularly innovative strategy currently being deployed in the UK is explored for its potential to subvert in order to convert intimate femicide into a first-order political problem.The media and community reaction to Australia's most recent filicide case is the starting point for an analysis of the continuing misrecognition of "family" violence as isolated tragic events that could "happen to anyone".
