Violence within family differs in significant respects from criminal assultiveness. Failure to differentiate these two forms of violence contributes to the ineffectiveness of the criminal justice system. Love relationships account for the majority of homicides; however, the fiction of the criminal as the killer persists because of the entertainment media. Prevention requires comprehension of the causes and construction of typology of violence.
家庭内部的暴力在很多重要方面与犯罪攻击性有所不同。未能区分这两种暴力形式导致刑事司法系统效率低下。恋爱关系是大多数杀人案的原因；然而，由于娱乐媒体的影响，罪犯即杀手的虚构形象依然存在。预防需要理解暴力的成因并构建暴力类型学。
