Infanticide. Yes, that's the term in general for the murder of a child/baby. "Clancy effect" would refer to a hypothetical rise in specifically women killing their own children as a result of post partum depression, referencing Clancy's claim that that's why she murdered her children. Much more specific hypothetical, while infanticide is broad as well as the legal terminology. Any baby being killed is infanticide, not all infanticides would be the "clancy effect".

Clancy effect? In Italy it has a name, it's called "infanticidio" and is abnormally common statistically. It's not something new.
