Answer to Question 1

Answer: Primary homicides are the most frequent type of homicides and involve family members, friends, and acquaintances. They are usually characterized as expressive crimes because they often result from interpersonal hostility, based on jealousy, revenge, romantic triangles, and minor disagreements. Nonprimary homicides involve victims and offenders who have no prior relationship and usually occur in the course of another crime such as robbery. They are often referred to as instrumental crimes because they involve some degree of premeditation by the offender and are less likely to be precipitated by the victim.
