A homicide is considered to have a family violence motive when the suspect or arrested person and victim have some type of familial relationship (e.g. husband/wife, intimate partners, or parent/child in the same household). Data reflect where family violence was the primary motive. These motives can be evident at the time of the initial report or may be determined during the investigation.
