Preferred term

infanticide  

Definition

  • Infanticide is the intentional killing of an infant by a member of its species and is widespread in human and nonhuman animals. As such, a key to understanding infanticide is the determination of what is an infant. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Deviance; Infanticide]
