Crimes of passion are deterrable through learned anger-control skill, not sanctions

Evidence

Assault-based murders are usually dubbed “crimes of passion” and are considered unde-terrable by the death penalty or other legal sanctions. However, they are deterrable on a personal level if one cultivates skill in exercising control over one’s anger arousal (Novaco, 2013). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1957
