Passion Killing in Namibia

5ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSE
Passion killing refers to the killing of another person that is carried out on account of
the fact that the people are involved in a romantic relationship. This report discusses about
the three causes in relation to passion killing in Namibia.
The passion killings in Namibia are carried out due to the fact that the people in
Namibia are very conservative that makes them take recourse to the passion killings (Duff,
Nampweya & Tree, 2017). The men in the country dominate the women that gives rise to
passion killing. The women are not financially secure that leads to passion killing within
Namibia (Jones, 2018).
Passion killing is very popular in the society of Namibia. The conservative society in
Namibia paves the path for passion killing.
