Crime seriousness studies have consistently shown a broad consensus regarding the high perceived seriousness of violent offenses. However, socio-cultural models suggest wide variability between social groups with regard to the seriousness of certain types of violent crime. This is particularly true in the case of male violence against female intimate partners. The author examines the contradictory approaches of crime seriousness studies and socio-cultural models, and focus on Israel???s two main ethnic groups???Jews and Arabs. Findings of an attitudinal survey indicate significantly more permissive attitudes to male violence against female intimate partners among Arab respondents than among Jews.
