L'article commence par une série de quatre comparaisons pouvant éclairer la recherche de solutions préventives contre l'homicide familial : 1. comparaisons internationales sur le contrôle des armes à feu ; 2. comparaisons entre les homicides conjugaux et les autres violences familiales non létales ; 3. comparaisons selon les types de violence familiale ; 4. comparaisons entre intervention et non intervention policière. La deuxième partie présente les solutions préventives les plus prometteuses 1. Encourager les victimes et les tiers à appeler la police. 2. Distinguer les degrés de violence et agir en conséquence. 3. Quand le danger est faible, viser l'apaisement, le blâme et la dissuasion. 4. Quand le danger est élevé, viser la neutralisation de l'agresseur et la protection de la victime. 5. Tenir compte du facteur temps. 6. Confisquer les armes à feu en possession des auteurs de violence familiale. The article starts by four comparisons useful when one looks at the prevention of family homicide : 1. international comparisons on gun control ; 2. comparisons between partner homicide and other non-lethal violence ; 3. comparisons between types of family violence ; 4. comparison between police intervention and non-intervention. In the second part, promising preventive solutions are presented : 1. Encouraging victims and third parties to call the police. 2. Distinguishing degrees of violence. 3. If the degree of danger is low, aiming at blaming and deterring. 4. If the degree of danger is high, aiming at incapacitation and protection of victim. 5. Taking time into account. 6. Taking away guns from the hands of violent individuals.

The concept of a criminal « career » is being used more and more in the recent criminological literature. This article analyzes the pertinence of explaining this concept by its specific components. To do this, the criminal activities of a sample of adolescents and a group of wards of the Montreal Court between the ages of seven and twenty-five are described (precocity, frequency, variety, gravity, aggravation, violence, duration). Two stages were detected in the criminal career, their degree of stability and paths of development. The dynamics of the criminal activity are described. Finally, the predictability of an intensification of criminal activities is analyzed. Given the high degree of stability, predictability and mobility (marked by aggravation of the criminal activity), we conclude that recourse to the concept of a criminal career is essential to a better understanding and more accurate diagnosis of the process of acting out.
