Abstract

This paper explores some possible theoretical distinctions between lethal and nonlethal encounters. Generally, theories of interpersonal violence have not focused on differences between these types of outcomes as involving factors intrinsic to the interaction process itself. It is argued that the logic of control theory offers a perspective which could direct future research to reveal differences in the interaction processes which lead to lethal and nonlethal outcomes.
