Are violent crimes primarily rational activities?
What will be an ideal response?
The rationality of violent crimes varies by the type of crime. For example, in the case of homicide, nonprimary homicides, which are generally instrumental, occur in the course of another crime, involve some degree of premeditation, and are less likely to involve victim precipitation, may be more rationally based than primary homicides, which are expressive crimes that often result from interpersonal hostility based on emotions such as jealousy and revenge.
Answers may vary.
