Resumen

La incidencia y gravedad de los filicidios, junto a la alta conmoción social y repercusión mediática que producen, demandan investigaciones que faciliten la prevención de estos delitos. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática ha sido analizar la existencia o no de características comunes entre los varones filicidas de menores de 18 años, atendiendo a diversos factores personales y contextuales, como el grado de parentesco, trastornos mentales o comisión de suicidio a posteriori. A través de una búsqueda exhaustiva en Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus y ProQuest se obtuvieron 8,698 resultados, siendo incluidos 23 estudios tras la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión y calidad. Los resultados sugieren que los filicidas comparten ciertas características conductuales y contextuales, aunque algunas de ellas dependen del grado de parentesco con la víctima. Sin embargo, se requieren más estudios que analicen indicadores comunes o diferenciales de los varones filicidas para poder diseñar estrategias de prevención específicas.
