Abstract
This research investigated cases of femicide in Great Britain where perpetrators had claimed that victims died in 'sex games gone wrong'. Forty-three femicides that resulted in a conviction for murder, manslaughter or culpable homicide were examined in relation to victim-perpetrator socio-demographic characteristics, victim-perpetrator relationship, homicide details and criminal justice outcomes. Key patterns within the data were identified. The research highlights that the 'sex game gone wrong' narrative has gained traction against a cultural backdrop of normalised BDSM within neoliberal political economy.
