Stressors Influencing Homicide-Suicide Among National Police Service Officers In Njoro Sub County, Nakuru County, Kenya
      Peter Kipruto
Abstract: This research explored Homicide-Suicide (H-S) among Kenya National Police Service (KNPS) officers, with a focus on Kenya Police Service (KPS), Administration Police Service (APS), and Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI). Despite a rise in incidents, research on this phenomenon was scarce in Kenya. The study investigated occupational, organizational, personal, and economic factors influencing H-S, drawing from Freuds Psychoanalytic Theory and Durkheims Theory of Suicides. Using a mixed-method design, 328 KNPS officers, including KPS, APS, and DCI, participated, alongside key stakeholders. Data collection included questionnaires and interviews, resulting in a response rate of 75.6%, with 136 completed questionnaires. In the analysis of personal stressors, the study scrutinized mental health conditions, traumatic events, and relationship issues.
