According to a recent study by the FBI, approximately 75% of all homicide victims know their killer. In a recent article by the National Post, Dr. Rosemary Gartner, director of the Center for Criminology at the University of Toronto, said most killings between family members are caused by irreconcilable disagreements.
"The fact is most people know their killers, and homicides arise out of disputes between family or friends," Dr. Gartner said. "They are not generally motivated by predatory desires, or robbing or pillaging or raping."
