These are where the criminal (or violentb> person) decides whether or not he can get away with it.
A violentb> and selfish person may suddenly find himself with the perfect opportunity/ability to commit a rape, and suddenly the intent appears.
A violentb>, emotional outburst, won't physically harm the victim, but clearly indicates that unless he/she cooperates with the tantrum thrower, the victim will be hurt.

Firearms and Violentb> Crime

Although sometimes dubbed "violentb> predators" for their tendency to extreme violence, they do not specialize in any particular crime, but rather are "omnibus felons" whose daily routines are characterized by "more or less any crime they had the opportunity to commit." [38] Moreover this omnivorous criminality is matched by omnivorous substance abuse.
While fear of the armed victim probably causes less hardy and dangerous felons to specialize in non- confrontation crime, it is much less effective with the distinctive subset of felons who are the major perpetrators of violentb> crime.
If a long sentence is mandated for guns crimes, and no plea bargain is possible, felons charged with a gun crime have no reason to plead guilty rather than insisting on trial.

#551 (06/19/97): Toxics and Violentb> Crime

After controlling for all the conventional measures of social deterioration (poverty, school dropouts, etc.), Masters found that counties having all three measures of neurotoxicity --lead, manganese, and high alcohol --have rates of violentb> crime three times the national average.
To test his hypothesis, Masters acquired data from the FBI for violentb> crimes in all counties of the U.S. He correlated this with data on industrial releases of lead and manganese into the environment of each county, using data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's TRI [toxic release inventory] database.
Masters says that traditional sociological approaches to crime cannot explain why the availability of handguns or drugs triggers violentb> behavior in only a small proportion of the population, a proportion that varies greatly from place to place.
