Schools must be more alert to honor-murder. Offenses based on honor-violence happen more often than realized. Intervening in time can prevent victims, according to a study by research agency Sardes for the Ministry of Integration. The results were published Thursday in the conference "Honor related violence in and around the school" (Eergerelateerd geweld in en om de school).
Sardes studied 40 middle-schools and regional educational centers (ROCs) all over the Netherlands. Twenty four of these had dealt with honor-related violence in previous years. Students were threatened or even murdered by family members because they had blemished the family honor. Sometimes the perpetrators sat in class. Most victims were girls of Turkish or Moroccan origins who had lived too loosely, according to their families.
