A crime of passion (French: crime passionnel), in popular usage, refers to a violent crime, especially homicide, in which the perpetrator commits the act against someone because of sudden strong impulse such as anger or jealousy rather than as a premeditated crime.[1] A high level of social and legal acceptance of crimes of passion has been historically associated with France from the 19th century to the 1970s,[2] and until recently with Latin America.[3][4]
