- Jealousy

- Male sexual jealously single most common motivation for US killings in domestic disputes
- sexual jealously accounted for 17% murder in UK
- Shackleford (AO2)
- 461 men and 560 women- US universities. All in committed relationships
- mate retention strategies correlated positively with their violence scores
- problems of correlation, honesty of P's and disclosure of personal information, self report and social desirability bias
- Daly and Wilson
- Infidelity
- Use studies from Daly and Goetz
- Camilleri
- cuckoldry risk hypothesis = men more likely to use coercion if risk is high (more chance of making offspring theirs)
- violence may serve as elimination of potential offspring
- Burch and Gallup
- violent acts towards pregnant mates double
- Valladares
- half their sample of pregnant were abused and suffered blows to abdomen
- Burch and Gallup
- Uxorocide (wife killing)

- If evolutionary theory is correct why are their individual differences
- Buss and Shackleford- doesn't explain why all men aren't killers or abusers
