numbers and statistics
First I would start by quoting “Gift of fear” by Gavin de Becker page 9.
… we civilised Americans who kill women and children with the most alarming frequency. In [sad] fact, if a full Jumbo jet crashed into a mountain killing every one onboard, and if that happened every month, month in and month out, the number of people killed still would not equal the number of women murdered by their husband and boyfriends each year…
Interesting numbers on online “cheating”, I do not agree with the statements made in these links they are just the statistics Temptress_1960 asked for.

Statistics about violent crimes and cheating, and again I do not stand behind the remarks made in these sites.

A nice quote:
An estimated 876,340 violent victimizations against women by intimate partners occurred during 1998 down from 1.1 million in 1993

I hope this gives you enough material to study the statistics by if not let me know and I will send you more, There is a ton of material on statistics on crimes and the reasons behind crimes.
Now to top this all of a quote of this site:

V. The Criminal Law and Juries
In the criminal law, as in other fields, the rules were initially developed by English judges to deal with situations they experienced and understood. That tradition of law made by males in their own image continued in this country with both judge-made common law and legislation. Not only our substantive laws but also our legal processes, including the jury, were developed on male models.
We all think that we know what murder is. We don't. Not all killings are criminal homicides; for example, some are accidents and some are self-defense. As a young teacher, a section of the Texas Penal Code in effect in 1971 stunned me. It provided: "Homicide is justifiable when committed by the husband upon one taken in the act of adultery with the wife, provided the killing takes place before the parties to the act have separated." Under traditional common law, a husband who caught his wife in the act of adultery had adequate provocation to partially excuse or partially justify him, the reasonable man, for losing his cool. His killing was reduced from murder to manslaughter. Here was an instance of Texas and at least three other American states, Georgia, New Mexico and Utah, going even one better. They found the husband's killing totally justified, resulting in a verdict of not guilty of murder or any other kind of homicide. Of course, this doctrine did not apply to wives killing under such circumstances. The Texas statute taught me that words, including murder and manslaughter, mean "what we choose them to mean."
