Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrasexual competition, or competition between members of the same sex, is often a factor in violent behavior, including homicides. This is particularly true for males, who may engage in violent behavior in order to establish dominance or eliminate rivals. Intersexual competition, or competition for mates, may also play a role in some homicides, but it is less likely to be a primary factor. Frequency dependent selection and the human need to belong are not related to homicide rates.
