The Australian Institute of Criminology estimates the cost of assault, sexual assault, and homicide in Australia at over $2.5 billion per annum. Despite these enormous costs, very little is known about the cognitive and neural mechanisms guiding these phenomena. This research will also provide cues regarding risk for domestic violence. Understanding domestic violence is especially significant because it is the leading cause of homicide among women in Australia. The insights gained from this research may lead to substantial social (e.g., stronger social fabric, reduced crime) and economic benefit (e.g., reduced spending on healthcare and crime).

澳大利亚犯罪学研究所估计，澳大利亚每年因袭击、性侵犯和凶杀造成的损失超过25亿澳元。 尽管有这些巨大的成本，但人们对指导这些现象的认知和神经机制知之甚少。 这项研究还将提供有关家庭暴力风险的线索。 了解家庭暴力特别重要，因为它是澳大利亚妇女杀人的主要原因。从这项研究中获得的见解可能会导致大量的社会（例如，加强社会结构，减少犯罪）和经济效益（例如，减少医疗保健和犯罪支出）。
