For the most part, male and female adult friends or acquaintances were the victims in the homicide cases, whereas more of the assault cases involved strangers. (Coramae Richey)

Infanticide has historically been considered a sex-specific crime, or one that "actually excludes the members of one sex by legal definition." Carol Smart points out in her descriptions of the English legal system that infanticide is the one exception to equally applicable British law since it is an offense committable only by women.

Some attribute this offense to the occasion when an unmarried mother must rid herself of a shameful secret through suffocation, strangulation, and the infliction of wounds or fractures to the skull as the most frequent forms of infanticide. (Coramae Richey)

It is difficult for a woman to use physical strength in an assault, so she is forced to use a knife, or a household product. The practice of throwing scarring solutions such as lye, gasoline, and acids is still a common practice used by women to equalize their lack of assaultive strength. Many violent women offenders wait until their male victims are asleep to perpetrate their assaults, which, in some cases, become homicides. (Coramae Richey)

Very little is known about family violence, but recent examinations of the problem have revealed some startling cases of women who abuse their children, husband, and parents. The actual extent of family violence is generally unknown. The younger child is most often the victim, and while mothers are more likely (68 percent) than fathers (58 percent) to commit child abuse, both parents are equally capable of serious violence against their children.

The thought of the 'little woman' beating up or battering her husband is cause for many deep guffaws, especially from men. Yet this form of spouse abuse is now believed to be more commonplace than previously imagined. Certain characteristics of a marriage create husband beaters: A portion of women's abuse of their husbands may be 'protective reaction violence' where the wife strikes the first blow to protect herself from her spouse when she believes she is about to be abused. While husband beating is called the most 'underreported crime,' parent abuse has been referred to as 'a new plague.' This type of abuse involves 'elderly people who live with and depend upon their adult children and who are psychologically or physically mistreated by them.' This practice, is commonly known in England as 'granny bashing' and 'gramslaming,' A year-long investigation by the House Select Committee on Aging views the abuse of the elderly as a widespread national problem almost equal to child abuse with the finding that about 4 percent of our older population, or 1 million senior citizens, experience neglect, beatings, drugging, torture, and rape, mostly at the hands of relatives.

Robbery

Earlier research found that women involved in robberies were usually accessories, or they accompanied someone else.
