"Of 60,000 murders committed by women between 1976 and 1997, just over 60% were against an intimate partner or family member. Obviously, intimate violence is a primary objective when women kill."
"Among the 400,000 murders committed by men over the same period, only 20% were against family members or an intimate partner. Clearly, intimate violence isn't a primary motive when most men kill."
Also the table they use from the Bureau of Justice (Table 96) shows that 54% of male murderers killed an acquaintance, 25% a stranger, only 7% a spouse, and 0.5% an ex spouse, 3.9% a girlfriend.
Whereas 32% of female murderers killed an acquaintance, 28% killed a spouse, 14% killed a boyfriend, 1.5% an ex-spouse.
