            Abstract
            Honour killings are murders that are carried out to purify tarnished honour, the honour in question being namus. Both men and women possess namus. For women and girls, namus means chastity, while for men it means having chaste female family members. Honour killing is a widely known phenomenon in Turkey, where the Hürriyet newspaper reports an average of six such killings a month. As a result of migration since the 1960s and 1970s, we also encounter it in Western Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark). This study examines in detail 20 cases of honour killing by Turks in the Netherlands. Particular attention is given to the social factors that play a role in the decision to commit a honour killing.
             
            Eerwraak is een zuiveringsritueel door middel van moord waartoe in het uiterste geval wordt besloten indien de eer wordt bezoedeld. Het draait om de begrippen namus (eer) en seref (aanzien) en geldt zowel voor mannen als voor vrouwen. Vrouwen en meisjes dienen hun kuisheid te bewaren; de mannelijke eer wordt aangetast, en daarmee hun aanzien, indien een vrouw binnen de familie haar namus kwijt is. Eerwraak is een veel voorkomend verschijnsel in Turkije. Het Turkse dagblad Hurriyet meldt gemiddeld zes eerwraken per maand. Als gevolg van de migratiestroom van Turken richting West Europa vanaf de jaren '60 komt het fenomeen ook voor in landen als Nederland, België, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Zweden en Denemarken. Clementine van Eck bestudeerde twintig Nederlandse strafdossiers van door Turken gepleegde eerwraken. In dit boek gaat zij speciaal in op de sociale factoren die een rol spelen bij het besluit om uiteindelijk een eerwraak te plegen.
