What has the analysis of homicides resulting from interpersonal violence found?
What will be an ideal response?
The FBI report on homicide has brought attention to the fact that male violence against female intimates is far greater than women's violence against males. An analysis of murders between 1980 and 2008 by Cooper and Smith (2011) found 40 percent of all female murder victims were killed by an intimate partner. During this same time period, the rate of males killed by an intimate dropped by half. Therefore, intimates do not threaten the lives of men but the lives of women. There is also an even split between couples who are married and those without legal marriage, about 50 percent in each category are murdered by their partners.
